How informative is Wright's estimator of the number of genes affecting a quantitative character?

Genetics - 1 Sept 1990

Zeng Z B, Houle D, Cockerham C C

Abstract excerpt

S. Wright suggested an estimator, m, of the number of loci, m, contributing to the difference in a quantitative character between two differentiated populations, which is calculated from the phenotypic means and variances in the two parental populations and their F1 and F2 hybrids. The same method can also be used to estimate m contributing to the genetic variance within a single population, by using divergent...
