Controlling the false discovery rate (FDR) is crucial for quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping. This study provides a foundation for applying FDR methods in QTL analysis, enhancing reproducibility and discovery power.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Statistical Genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • False discovery rate (FDR) control is vital for studies with high multiplicity, such as quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis.
  • FDR methods offer improved reproducibility and power in QTL mapping but face slow adoption due to underdeveloped methodology.
  • Existing statistical and genetic literature lacks a comprehensive foundation for FDR application in QTL mapping.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a robust theoretical and methodological framework for implementing false discovery rate control in quantitative trait locus mapping.
  • To review and clarify the interpretation and application of various FDR criteria and formulations relevant to genetic linkage analysis.
  • To provide practical guidelines for utilizing FDR control in the identification and validation of quantitative trait loci.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established FDR criteria and their interpretations in statistical and genetic contexts.
  • Discussion of novel FDR theoretical developments and their specific utility in linkage analysis.
  • Evaluation of established FDR controlling procedures (e.g., Benjamini-Hochberg, resampling, adaptive two-stage) for single- and multiple-trait QTL mapping.

Main Results:

  • FDR control enhances the reliability of linkage analysis by minimizing false positives.
  • Specific FDR procedures demonstrate validity and utility in both single- and multiple-trait QTL mapping scenarios.
  • The study clarifies the role of FDR in suggesting, indicating significance, and confirming quantitative trait loci.

Conclusions:

  • False discovery rate control is essential for robust and reproducible QTL mapping.
  • This work provides a foundational understanding and practical guidelines for applying FDR in genetic analyses.
  • Implementing FDR control will improve the efficiency and accuracy of identifying genetic loci associated with traits.
