A population genetics model for multiple quantitative traits exhibiting pleiotropy and epistasis.

Journal of theoretical biology - 21 Apr 2000

Taylor C F, Higgs P G

Abstract excerpt

We study a population genetics model of an organism with a genome of L(tot)loci that determine the values of T quantitative traits. Each trait is controlled by a subset of L loci assigned randomly from the genome. There is an optimum value for each trait, and stabilizing selection acts on the phenotype as a whole to maintain actual trait values close to their optima. The model contains pleiotropic effects (loci...
