Figure 5

Relationship between the number of cycles and the power to detect linked QTLs. Data are the results for the rice eight-way IRIPs (n = 800). Values are the result of 400 simulations, and 5, 10, and 20 cM represent the distance between the QTLs. Detailed conditions of this experiment are described in Table 3. (A) Power to detect QTLs in the repulsion phase by using the single-QTL model. (B) Power to detect QTLs in the repulsion phase by using the two-QTL model. (C) Power to separate QTLs in the coupling phase by using the two-QTL model. (D) Power to detect QTLs with a small effect in the coupling phase. (E) Comparison of the power to separate QTLs in the repulsion phase between the bi-allelic and multi-allelic cases. (F) Comparison of the power to separate QTLs in the coupling phase between the bi-allelic and multi-allelic cases.
