Methods that detect QTL within commercial populations circumvent the need for expensive experimental populations and facilitate direct application of results through marker assisted selection. Variance component analysis (VCA) uses phenotypic, pedigree and marker information within a mixed linear model to simultaneously detect QTL and estimate breeding values. The inclusion of non-additive effects has potential for greater accuracy of selection and understanding of underlying mechanisms. The linear model can be extended to include higher order effects such as dominance, however, there is little information on empirical power. Here VCA was applied to real and simulated commercial broiler data to detect additive and dominant QTL effects.
