how to analyze the linkage among quantitative traits and genetic markers - (Aug/22/2008 )
Quantitative traits are natural occurring variation, to some extent, they are difficult to identify. However, now three strategies have been developed to identify the quantitative traits of interest, QTL mapping, association mapping, and selection screening. All of them are related to genetic markers, so can you tell me how to identify a quantitative trait of interest using genetic markers as tools.

what kind of research you will do, animal model or clinical study?

Thanks microlight. 
Maize actually, as maize sequencing project finishiing, it becomes a good material for functional genomics.
