4 The genetic analysis can be very complicated even with biparental populations! F1-derived populations F, F3, DH, RIL: p=.5, q=.5 at each locus P1BC1-derived population F, F3, DH, RIL: p=.75, q=.5 at each locus PBC1-derived population F, F3, DH, RIL: p=.5, q=.75 at each locus P1BC-derived population F, F3, DH, RIL: p=.875, q=.15 at each locus PBC-derived population F, F3, DH, RIL: p=.15, q=.875 at each locus 4

5 Twenty biparental populations Allele frequencies can be different Genotypes and their frequencies are much different Are they equal good in estimating the recombination frequency between two linked loci? 5

6 LOD LOD LOD scores from different populations True r=.5 (Upper), True r=. (lower) True r =.5 PopSize=5 PopSize=1 PopSize= F F3 F1DH F1RIL BC1F1 BC1F BC1DH BC1RIL BCF1 BCF BCDH BCRIL True r =. PopSize=5 PopSize=1 PopSize= 1 5 F F3 F1DH F1RIL BC1F1 BC1F BC1DH BC1RIL BCF1 BCF BCDH BCRIL 6

8 Observations When two alleles at each locus have equal frequency of.5, we had a better estimation. When a population has more genotypes, we had a better estimation. For F and F3 to be efficient, we need codominant markers. 8

12 Number of women Number of women Number of women Number of women Number of women Quantitative traits in genetics Ear length (cm) of one maize inbred line (P1) Midpoint group value Ear length (cm) of their F1 hybrids Midpoint group value Distribution of height (inches) among 4995 British women Midpoint group value Ear length (cm) of aonther maize inbred line (P) Midpoint group value Ear length (cm) of their F hybrids Midpoint group value

13 Quantitative traits Continuous phenotypic variation Affected by many genes Affected by environment Epistasis Polygene (or multi-factorial ) hypothesis Classical quantitative genetics 13

14 Quantitative trait does not have to be continuous Categorical traits: traits in which the phenotype corresponds to any one of a number of discrete categories Number of skin ridges forming the fingerprints Number of kernels on an ear of corn Number of puppies in a litter Threshold traits: traits that have only two, or a few, phenotypic classes, but their inheritance is determined by the effects of multiple genes acting together with the environment Liability to express the trait, which is not directly observable. When liability is high enough (above a threshold ), the trait will be expressed; Otherwise, the trait is not expressed. 14

15 What is QTL Mapping? The procedure to map individual genetic factors with small effects on the quantitative traits, to specific chromosomal segments in the genome The key questions in QTL mapping studies are: How many QTL are there? Where are they located in the marker map? How large an influence does each of them have on the trait of interest? Are they interacting with each other? Are they stably expressed across environments? 15

16 Dataset of QTL mapping Mapping population Marker data of each individual in the mapping population Linkage map Phenotypic data 16

17 Example: 1 RIL of Rice (linkage map of Chr. 5 ) Marker C63 R83 R3166 XNpb387 R569 R1553 C18 C14 XNpb81 C46 R953 C1447 Position (cm) RIL1.33 RIL 1.99 RIL3.4 RIL RIL5.76 RIL6.3 RIL7.3 RIL8.8 RIL9.4 RIL Grain width (mm)

18 Classification of mapping populations Bi-parental mapping populations (linkage mapping) Temporary population: F and BC Permanent population: RIL, DH, CSSL Secondary population Association mapping Natural populations: human and animals 18

19 Overview on QTL mapping methods Single marker analysis (Sax 193; Soller et al. 1976) The single marker analysis identifies QTLs based on the difference between the mean phenotypes for different marker groups, but cannot separate the estimates of recombination fraction and QTL effect. Interval mapping (IM) (Lander and Botstein 1989) IM is based on maximum likelihood parameter estimation and provides a likelihood ratio test for QTL position and effect. The major disadvantage of IM is that the estimates of locations and effects of QTLs may be biased when QTLs are linked. Regression interval mapping (RIM) (Haley and Knott 199; Martinez and Curnow 199 ) RIM was proposed to approximate maximum likelihood interval mapping to save computation time at one or multiple genomic positions. Composite interval mapping (CIM) (Zeng 1994) CIM combines IM with multiple marker regression analysis, which controls the effects of QTLs on other intervals or chromosomes onto the QTL that is being tested, and thus increases the precision of QTL detection. 19

20 Overview on QTL mapping methods Multiple interval mapping (MIM) (Kao et al. 1999) MIM is a state-of-the-art gene mapping procedure. But implementation of the multiple-qtl model is difficult, since the number of QTL defines the dimension of the model which is also an unknown parameter of interest. Bayesian model (Sillanpää and Corander ) In any Bayesian model, a prior distribution has to be considered. Based on the prior, Bayesian statistics derives the posterior, and then conduct inference based on the posterior distribution. However, Bayesian models have not been widely used in practice, partially due to the complexity of computation and the lack of user-friendly software. Inclusive Composite Interval Mapping (Li et al. 6) In the first step, stepwise regression was applied to identify the most significant regression variables in both cases but with different probability levels of entering and removing variables. In the second step, a onedimensional scanning or interval mapping was conducted for mapping additive and a two-dimensional scanning was conducted for mapping digenic epistasis.
