===Family-pedigree based mapping===
[[Family-based QTL mapping]], or Family-pedigree based mapping (Linkage and [[association mapping]]), involves multiple families instead of a single family. Family-based QTL mapping has been the only way for mapping of genes where experimental crosses are difficult to make. However, due to some advantages, now plant geneticists are attempting to incorporate some of the methods pioneered in human genetics.<ref name=Jannink2001>{{cite journal |pmid=11495765 |date=Aug 2001 |author=Jannink, J |author2=Bink, Mc |author3=Jansen, Rc |title=Using complex plant pedigrees to map valuable genes |volume=6 |issue=8 |pages=337–42 |issn=1360-1385 |journal=Trends in Plant Science |doi=10.1016/S1360-1385(01)02017-9}}</ref> Using family-pedigree based approach has been discussed (Bink et al. 2008).
