Sommario/riassunto

Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) is a topic of major agricultural significance



for efficient livestock production. This book covers various statistical methods that have been used or proposed for detection and analysis of QTL and marker-and gene-assisted selection in animal genetics and breeding.
