Generalized composite interval mapping offers improved efficiency in the analysis of loci influencing non-normal continuous traits

In genetic studies, most Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) mapping methods presuppose that the continuous trait of interest follows a normal (Gaussian) distribution. However, many economically important traits of agricultural crops have a non-normal distribution. Composite interval mapping (CIM) has bee...
