Abstract excerpt
Analysis was undertaken using Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML) with an animal model of the results of selection for 20 generations for predicted lean mass in 10-week-old male mice. There were three replicates, each comprising high, low and unselected control lines. The overall estimates of heritability (h2) and common environmental correlations (c2) from results of the first seven generations were 0.51 +/-...
