A note on the bias of genetic distances in linkage maps based on small samples for backcrosses and intercrosses with complete dominance.

Hühn Manfred, Piepho Hans-Peter

Abstract excerpt

This paper investigates the bias (the difference between the expectation (mean) of an estimator and its true value) of genetic distances for small samples. Exact results on this bias have not received much attention in genetic mapping literature. We show that bias drops quickly with increasing sa...
