Can we conduct a QTL analysis on a haploid organism?

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?

qtl quantitative trait locus

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.

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

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

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

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