Regions of the genome that influence quantitative traits are called quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and can be located using statistical methods. For this aim scientists use genetic markers, whose genotypes are known, and look for the associations between these genotypes and trait values. The common method which can be used in this problem is a linear regression. There are many model selection criteria...
Development of genetics in recent years has led to a situation in which we are able to look at the DNA chains with high precision and collect vast amounts of information. In addition, it turned out that the relationships between genes and traits are more complex than previously thought. These two things caused the need for close collaboration between geneticists and mathematicians whose task is to...
