What is recorded here?
Lander and Botstein developed methods for locating factors underlying quantitative traits using genetic linkage maps, including interval mapping and selective genotyping. The framework helped connect measured traits to regions of a genome.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
A mapped region is not automatically a causal gene, a useful breeding target in every population or a released crop variety. Earlier linkage theory and experimental mapping supplied important foundations.
