Long-term response to artificial selection with multiple alleles--study by simulations.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Feb 1990

Zeng Z B, Cockerham C C

Abstract excerpt

The effect of multiple alleles on long-term response to selection is examined by simulations using a pseudosampling technique to simulate the multidimensional diffusion process. The effects of alleles are independently drawn from a normal distribution and the initial frequencies of alleles are as...
