A quantitative genetics model for viability selection.

Abstract excerpt

Viability selection will change gene frequencies of loci controlling fitness. Consequently, the frequencies of marker loci linked to the viability loci will also change. In genetic mapping, the change of marker allelic frequencies is reflected by the departure from Mendelian segregation ratio. The non-Mendelian segregation of markers has been used to map viability loci along the genome. However, current methods...
