Understanding the role of markers in locating genes: Flowering Time
... The task of the students is to perform a two-tailed student t-test on each of the markers in a given data set to determine which biomarker is significantly linked with the gene or QTL associated with flowering time. It will provide the students the opportunity to use real-life data from an actual re ...
