Formulae are given for computing the distribution of numbers of selected individuals of each genotype and thus change in gene frequency at a locus with a large effect on a quantitative trait under truncation selection in a finite population. Results are illustrated with respect to use of selection for quantitative trait locus (QTL) detection, specifically by bulk segregant analysis with linked markers, for which probabilities that selected samples will comprise almost all one genotypic class are computed.
