This curriculum page provides links to learning modules, tutorials, and case studies relevant to mapping and quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis. The learning modules provide background information. Tutorials describe experimental designs for field-based phenotyping, scoring molecular markers, mapping, and QTL analysis. Case studies provide in-depth discussion of mapping.
