соответствующие одному локусу QTL, а длина их измеряется в
сантиморганах. Вот хорошая цитата:
In a more stringent test, the genomic regions were binned based on the observed average genomic distance covered by a QTL (30 cM in the rat) and the average size of the homologous region in the human genome (50 cM). In the rat, 15 out of 50 bins showed a linkage with suggestive/significant lod scores for blood pressure QTLs, whereas in the human genome, 26 out of 60 bins were predicted.
