Abstract:
The influence of epistasis on a quantitative trait can reduce the power of linkage analysis to identify the underlying loci. In the present study, we simulated a complex trait derived from a dynamic one-locus gene expression system with epistasis arising from feedback regulation and tested the power of sib-pair linkage analysis methods for detecting the underlying quantitative trait locus (QTL). Using this simple genetic architecture, we demonstrate that the power of sib-pair linkage analysis can be greatly improved if measures of complex trait dynamics are considered.
