This assignment does not require any sophisticated software for mapping or for the statistical analysis. You all should be able to answer it using the Excel or simply with a pencil and paper. The point is to know how to use the basic principles of genetic mapping and quantitative trait analysis. Each row contains the genotype and phenotype of the DH line.
Adjacent markers are in a similar distance apart.
A. First what you are asked to do is to perform a QTL mapping using this dataset. Perform a single-marker analysis for the 10 linked markers. Build a new datasheet for this, in which each row represent one marker, follow the instructions and answer the questions. Please, hand on only what you are asked to- A1 to A4 and B1 to B4. Put each value in the marker row, under different columns.
