[i] The conditional probabilities of the QTL genotypes upon the marker interval are calculated according to Bayes' theorem.

[ii] There are two marker genotypes 1000 and 0000 for each marker in the pseudo-test backcross design 1000 × 0000. The recombination fractions between the left marker of the interval and the QTL, and the QTL and the right marker of the interval are denoted byr 1 and r 2, respectively. The preferential pairing factor is denoted by p.
