Abstract
This disclosure provides methods for performing quantitative-trait loci (QTL) analysis in bacteria. The methods of the instant disclosure utilize multiple rounds of protoplast fusion-induced genomic recombination to break genetic linkages in bacterial genomes. The methods of the instant disclosure allow determining which genetic elements (QTL) are associated with phenotypic al features.
