Correcting the bias of Wright's estimates of the number of genes affecting a quantitative character: a further improved method.

Genetics - 1 Aug 1992

Zeng Z B

Abstract excerpt

Wright's method of estimating the number of genes contributing to the difference in a quantitative character between two populations involves observing the means and variances of the two parental populations and their hybrid populations. Although simple, Wright's method provides seriously biased estimates, largely due to linkage and unequal effects of alleles. A method is suggested to evaluate the bias of...
