Data on allele segregation at the individual level are costly and alternatives have been proposed that make use of allele frequencies among progeny rather than individual genotypes. Among the factors that may affect the power of the set up the most important are those intrinsic to the QTL the additive effect of the QTL and its dominance and distance between markers and QTL. Other factors are relative to the choice of animals and markers such as the frequency of the QTL and marker alleles among dams and sires. Data collection may affect the detection power through the size of half-sib families selection rate within families and the technical error incurred when estimating genetic frequencies. We present results for a sensitivity analysis for QTL detection using pools of DNA from selected half-sibs. Simulations showed that conclusive detection may be achieved with families of at least 500 half-sibs if sires are chosen on the criteria that most of their marker alleles are either both missing or one is fixed among dams. quantitative trait loci genetic marker selective DNA pooling 1. introduction Quantitative trait loci QTL detection and mapping methods are based on the analysis of association between marker alleles and phenotype. For maximum detection power large hybridization schemes .
