Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The additive genetic correlation (rg) is a key parameter in livestock genetic improvement. The standard error (SE) of an estimate of rg, r^g, depends on whether both traits are recorded on the same individual or on distinct individuals. The genetic correlation between traits recorded on distinct individuals is relevant as a measure of, e.g., genotype-by-environment interaction and for traits expressed...
