Abstract

Fine mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) is the route to more detailed molecular characterization and functional studies of the relationship between polymorphism and trait variation. It is also of direct relevance to breeding since it makes QTL more easily integrated into marker-assisted breeding and into genomic selection. Fine mapping requires that marker-trait associations are tested in populations in which large numbers of recombinations have occurred. This can be achieved by increasing the size of mapping populations or by increasing the number of generations of crossing required to create the population. We review the factors affecting the precision and power of fine mapping experiments and describe some contemporary experimental approaches, focusing on the use of multi-parental or multi-founder populations such as the multi-parent advanced generation intercross (MAGIC) and nested association mapping (NAM). We favor approaches such as MAGIC since these focus explicitly on increasing the amount of recombination that occurs within the population. Whatever approaches are used, we believe the days of mapping QTL in small populations must come to an end. In our own work in MAGIC wheat populations, we started with a target of developing 1,000 lines per population: that number now looks to be on the low side. Graphical Abstract.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 17. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 May 2020.
All research outputs
#2,100,516
of 24,780,938 outputs
Outputs from Advances in biochemical engineering biotechnology
#13
of 224 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#47,566
of 453,514 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Advances in biochemical engineering biotechnology
#1
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,780,938 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 91st percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 224 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.4. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 453,514 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
