Abstract
We incorporated 69 microsatellite loci into an existing data set of 132 markers to test for quantitative trait loci (QTLs) affecting spawning date and body weight in a backcross between two outbred strains of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Twenty-six linkage groups were identified and synteny of duplicated microsatellite markers was used to confirm 13 homeologous chromosome pairs. Gene-centromere data were used to localize the centromeres for 13 linkage groups whose orientations were previously unknown. We applied a combination of interval mapping and single marker analysis to the segregating maternal and paternal alleles at 201 microsatellite loci. Four spawning date QTLs with suggestive evidence for an additional two QTLs were detected in female trout spawning at 3 and 4 years of age. Similarly we detected three QTLs for body weight in females at 2 years of age plus four suggestive QTLs for this trait. We found marginal evidence that three pairs of ancestral homeologues contained detectable QTLs for the same trait. In one of the three pairs of homeologues, the duplicated QTL regions mapped to the same relative chromosomal location, while the exact localization of the QTL position in one of the other pairs was difficult to infer since it was based on data from a male-derived map. The existing data were unable to refute a hypothesis that duplicated functional genes will be maintained within the telomeric regions of salmonids due to preferential male-mediated crossing over in this region. Two of the four spawning date QTLs were detected on linkage groups with unknown homeologous relationships. QTLs with possible pleiotropic effects on both spawning date and body size were localized to two linkage groups.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
