title: Extending Xu's Bayesian model for estimating polygenic effects using markers of the entire genome.
abstract: In 2003, Xu obtained remarkably precise estimates of QTL positions despite the many markers simultaneously in his Bayesian model. We extend his model and Gibbs algorithm to ensure a valid posterior distribution and convergence to it, without changing the attractiveness of the method.
