Abstract
This white paper by eighty members of the Complex Trait Consortium presents a community's view on the approaches and statistical analyses that are needed for the identification of genetic loci that determine quantitative traits. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) can be identified in several ways, but is there a definitive test of whether a candidate locus actually corresponds to a specific QTL?

Mixed linear model approach adapted for genome-wide association studies.

TL;DR: A compression approach is reported, called 'compressed MLM', that decreases the effective sample size of such datasets by clustering individuals into groups and a complementary approach, 'population parameters previously determined' (P3D), that eliminates the need to re-compute variance components.

Strategies for mapping and cloning quantitative trait genes in rodents

TL;DR: New resources, such as chromosome substitution strains and the proposed Collaborative Cross, together with new analytical tools, including probabilistic ancestral haplotype reconstruction in outbred mice, Yin–Yang crosses and in silico analysis of sequence variants in many inbred strains, could make QTL cloning tractable.

Mouse Behavioral Assays Relevant to the Symptoms of Autism

TL;DR: An ideal mouse models will incorporate analogies to the three diagnostic symptoms of autism: abnormal social interactions, deficits in communication and high levels of repetitive behaviors, which will define robust phenotypes in mouse models of autism.

Mapping mendelian factors underlying quantitative traits using rflp linkage maps

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of analytical methods that modify and extend the classical theory for mapping such quantitative trait loci (QTLs) are described, and explicit graphs are provided that allow experimental geneticists to estimate, in any particular case, the number of progeny required to map QTLs underlying a quantitative trait.
