  A Bayesian Approach to Detect Quantitative Trait Loci using Markov chain Monte Carlo by Satagopan, J.M., Yandell, B.S., Newton, M.A., and Osborn, T.C. Genetics 144: 805 - 816, October, 1996. Abstract from the journal's site. The paper will be distributed in the October 9th session as there is no electronic version available.
