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:
“Both magic and religion are based strictly on mythological tradition, and they also both exist in the atmosphere of the miraculous, in a constant revelation of their wonder-working power. They both are surrounded by taboos and observances which mark off their acts from those of the profane world.”
—Bronislaw Malinowski (1884–1942)
