A quantitative trait locus (QTL) is a section of DNA (the locus) that correlates with variation in a phenotype (the quantitative trait).The QTL typically is linked to, or contains, the genes that control that phenotype.he simplest method for QTL mapping is analysis of variance (ANOVA, sometimes called marker regression) at the marker loci. In this method, in a backcross, one may calculate a t-statistic to compare the averages of the two marker genotype groups.
In order to begin a QTL analysis, scientists require two things. First, they need two or more strains of organisms that differ genetically with regard to the trait of interest. For example, they might select lines fixed for different alleles influencing egg size (one large and one small).
