Abstract
Current method of genetic map construction in autotetraploid species are based on linkage analysis of pairwise loci. This hinders appropriate use of map information in recovering incomplete and or missing information of experimental data, and is thus much less efficient for predicting both map distance and linkage phases. Based on the progress we achieved in this area, this project aims to develop the multi-locus theory and methods for linkage analysis in autotetraploid species. The research combines recent advancement in molecular marker development in polyploid species with modern statistical methods. Its accomplishment will provide the recently launched polyploid genome projects with urgently needed analytical tools.
