Correcting for bias in estimation of quantitative trait loci effects

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Estimates of quantitative trait loci (QTL) effects derived from complete genome scans are biased, if no assumptions are made about the distribution of QTL effects. Bias should be reduced if estimates are derived by maximum likelihood, with the QTL effects sampled...
