The covariance between relatives conditional on genetic markers.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

The development of molecular genotyping techniques makes it possible to analyze quantitative traits on the basis of individual loci. With marker information, the classical theory of estimating the genetic covariance between relatives can be reformulated to improve the accuracy of estimation. In this study, an algorithm was derived for computing the conditional covariance between relatives given genetic markers....
