CI95 = 3000/kNa2
or: CI95 = 530/Nv
k = # informative chromosomes/individual
(k=1 for BC, HS; k=2 for F2,FS)
a = standardized (by sp) allele substitution effect at QTL
v = proportion of variance explained by QTL in mapping pop.
N = effective mapping population size (include only families expected to be heterozygous for QTL)
Assumes saturated marker map (0.1 cM)
Resolving Power of QTL Mapping (Darvasi & Soller 1997)
~ 95% Confidence Interval for QTL Location (cM)
