Effect of recombination. The power to detect and localize QTL depends on the extent of recombination experienced by the populations. (A and D) Power increases with the recombination rate of the organisms under selection. (B and E) Additional generations of initial mixing and (C and F) additional generations between rounds of selection similarly increase power. [Top row (A–C), 10 QTL; bottom row (D–F), 100 QTL; $h^2=0.5$, N = 1000, $20\%$ selected, 20 generations of selection, and 20 generations of mixing in A, C, D, and F.]
