Family-pedigree Based Mapping
Family based QTL mapping or Family-pedigree based mapping (Linkage and association mapping) involves multiple families instead of single family. Family based QTL mapping has been only way for mapping of genes where experimental crosses are difficult to make. However, due to some advatanges, now plant geneticists are attempting to incorporate some of the methods pioneered in human genetics. Using family-pedigree based approach has been discussed (Bink et al. 2008). Family-based linkage and association has been successfully implemented (Rosyara et al. 2009)

Famous quotes containing the word based:
“The fetish of the great university, of expensive colleges for young women, is too often simply a fetish. It is not based on a genuine desire for learning. Education today need not be sought at any great distance. It is largely compounded of two things, of a certain snobbishness on the part of parents, and of escape from home on the part of youth. And to those who must earn quickly it is often sheer waste of time. Very few colleges prepare their students for any special work.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
