Multiparent Population

Multiparental populations are becomingly increasingly common in crops due to their high levels of resolution and power in genetic analysis. In particular, Multiparent Advanced Generation InterCrosses (MAGIC) bring together a diverse set of founders through many generations of recombination to produce inbred lines with phenotypes driven by novel combinations of alleles. Such complex crosses are now being used in wheat, chickpea, and rice, as well as the model animal, mouse, for linkage map construction, QTL mapping, and to facilitate the move from QTL to candidate genes.
