Abstract

Epistasis or the interaction between loci on a genome is of great interest to geneticists. Herein, a powerful Bayesian method utilizing Markov chain Monte Carlo model composition approach using restricted spaces is developed for identifying epistatic effects in Recombinant Inbred Lines (RIL). The method is verified through a simulation study and applied to an Arabidopsis thaliana data set with cotyledon as the quantitative trait.
