Sets of simulation parameters in detail (code in brackets) |
---|
Four different sets of marker map: |
Marker positions were given by marker maps in four versions (M1, M2, M3, M4), where marker position slightly varied (in marker distances) on the 55 cM long chromosomal segment |
(M1) markers at 0, 13.7, 32.8, 35.7, 40.5, 42.5, 43.5, 44.5, 45.5, 48.5 and 53.2 cM |
(M2) markers at 0, 10.9, 17.8, 25.9, 33,6 39.8, 46.3, 48.3, 49.3, 51.2 and 54.4 cM |
(M3) markers at 0, 13.7, 32.8, 35.5, 37.5, 39.3, 40.3 42.4, 43.3, 44.3 and 48.4 cM |
(M4) markers at 0, 13.7, 32.8, 35.7, 37.7, 39.7, 43.5, 44.5, 45.5, 46.5 and 49.4 cM |
Bold script marks the marker bracket harbouring the QTL at 41.5 cM in each map |
Marker information (three different sets regarding the number of marker alleles): |
(2_A) two marker alleles |
(4_A) four marker alleles |
(6_A) and six marker alleles |
Number of analyses (= repetitions per family structure): |
4 versions of marker maps by 3 versions of marker allele numbers by 5 variations individual missing values (in marker information and/or phenotypic values, combinations of 20% randomly missing values each) = 60 data sets per family structure (60 independent analyses per family structure, with all parameters equally distributed) |
