Criteria for evaluating molecular markers: Comprehensive quality metrics to improve marker-assisted selection.

Despite strong interest over many years, the usage of quantitative trait loci in plant breeding has often failed to live up to expectations. A key weak point in the utilisation of QTLs is the "quality" of markers used during marker-assisted selection (MAS): unreliable markers result in var...
