Within-generation mutation variance for litter size in inbred mice.

Abstract excerpt

The mutational input of genetic variance per generation (sigma(m)(2)) is the lower limit of the genetic variability in inbred strains of mice, although greater values could be expected due to the accumulation of new mutations in successive generations. A mixed-model analysis using Bayesian methods was applied to estimate sigma(m)(2) and the across-generation accumulated genetic variability on litter size in 46...
