Marker-inferred relatedness as a tool for detecting heritability in nature.

Molecular ecology - 1 Sept 2000

Ritland K

Abstract excerpt

This paper presents a perspective of how inferred relatedness, based on genetic marker data such as microsatellites or amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs), can be used to demonstrate quantitative genetic variation in natural populations. Variation at two levels is considered: among pairs of individuals within populations, and among pairs of subpopulations within a population. In the former, inferred...
