Estimation of additive genetic variance when base populations are selected.

Journal of animal science - 1 Oct 1990

van der Werf J H, de Boer I J

Abstract excerpt

A population of size 40 was simulated 1,000 times for 10 generations. Five out of twenty males were selected each generation, and each male was mated to four females to have two progeny. The additive genetic variance (sigma 2a) before selection was 10, and the initial heritability was .5. Due to covariances among animals, inbreeding and gametic disequilibrium, the genetic variance was reduced to 6.72 after 10...
