Interpretive Summary: Quantitative trait loci (QTL) are
locations on a chromosome where genetic variability results in
measurable changes in a trait of interest. The nested
association mapping (NAM) design is a genetic mating design that
allows researchers to combine the strengths of two types of
genetic mapping techniques, linkage mapping and association
mapping, to l
