The effect of epistasis between linked genes on quantitative trait locus analysis
The effect of epistasis between linked genes on quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis was studied as a function of their contribution to the phenotypic variance and their genetic distance by simulation of F2 (at least 200 individuals) and recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations. Data sets were r...

| description | The effect of epistasis between linked genes on quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis was studied as a function of their contribution to the phenotypic variance and their genetic distance by simulation of F2 (at least 200 individuals) and recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations. Data sets were replicated 100 times. For F2 populations, the presence of epistasis improves the detection of QTLs having effects in opposite directions. Epistasis between linked QTLs (26.5 cM) was poorly detected even when its contribution was relatively high compared to the main effects, and was null for heritabilities lower than 0.10. The detection of false-positive main effects is strongly affected by the distance between epistatic QTLs. The closer they are (a parts per thousand currency sign11.5 cM), the higher the probability of detecting false-positive main-effect QTLs and the lower the probability of detecting epistatic effects. In this case, the presence of main-effect QTLs is due to the deviation of the heterozygote from the homozygotes at each linked interacting QTL and is algebraically explained by the joint effect of the linkage and the additive-by-additive interaction, resulting in a heterosis at a single genomic region in the absence of simulated dominant genetic effects. The number of false-positive main effects only reached nominal levels at about 100 cM. For RIL populations, the number of false positives or the detection of existing epistasis does not depend on the distance, and the power to detect epistatic QTLs is much higher even with small sample sizes and low contributions to the trait. RIL populations are highly recommended to detect epistatic QTLs and to better infer the genetic architecture of a quantitative trait. |
