Extension of the Castle-Wright effective factor estimator to sex linkage and haplodiploidy.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Jones C D

Abstract excerpt

The Castle-Wright effective factor estimator gives a minimum estimate of the number of genes underlying complex traits. Because the Castle-Wright estimator does not rely on genetic markers, it is especially useful in genetically undeveloped species. In this article I describe two extensions of this estimator. The first corrects the estimator in heterogametic (XY) species with a partially sex-linked trait. In this...
