Can we conduct a QTL analysis on a haploid organism?

Question

[Researcher]

Hi, I am not familiar with QTL analysis, but I read little bit about it and I wondered if we can conduct a QTL analysis on a haploid organism?

If you don't have recombination you can't do QTL. There are other methods you can use and the genetics is typically much easier.

[Researcher]

thanks for your answer. And for diploid, should we have data from different generations or should we simulate the recombination?

[Asaf]

You can use only one generation, what do you mean "simulate the recombination"?

[Researcher]

I mean if we do not have the offsprings of the generation, how can we know about the outcome of recombination?

[Asaf]

You look at a specific generation, it already went through recombination.
