title: Joint mapping of quantitative trait loci using F2 populations.
abstract: In this paper, the theory of joint mapping of quantitative trait loci is extended to F2 populations. Two independent regression equations, related to the additive and dominance effects respectively, are derived. Therefore, there are three alternative strategies for mapping QTLs, called additive-based mapping (ABM), dominance-based mapping (DBM) and additive-dominance-based mapping (ADBM). Simulation results have shown that ADBM is the most appropriate in most situations.
