Estimation of milk protein gene frequencies in crossbred cattle by maximum likelihood.

Journal of dairy science - 1 Aug 1991

Bovenhuis H, Van Arendonk J A

Abstract excerpt

A maximum likelihood method is presented to estimate the fraction of animals misclassified and breed effects for milk protein gene frequencies based on crossbred data. A simulation study indicates that the method provides estimates of gene frequencies that agree closely with the true values. Gene...
