Family-based QTL (Quantitative Trait Locus) mapping is a genetic approach used to identify and locate the genes that contribute to quantitative traits—phenotypic characteristics that vary in degree and can be influenced by multiple genes and environmental factors. QTL mapping aims to establish a statistical relationship between observed traits and genetic markers. In family-based QTL mapping, the focus is typically on utilizing family structures such as pedigrees or related individuals (e.g.
