Intraspecific variation of residual heterozygosity and its utility for quantitative genetic studies in maize

Abstract Background Residual heterozygosity (RH) in advanced inbred lines of plants benefits quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping studies. However, knowledge of factors affecting the genome-wide distribution of RH remains limited. Results A set of 2196 heterogeneous inbred family (HIF) maize lines...
