Simulation of functional additive and non-additive genetic effects using statistical estimates from quantitative genetic models.

Abstract excerpt

Stochastic simulation software is commonly used to aid breeders designing cost-effective breeding programs and to validate statistical models used in genetic evaluation. An essential feature of the software is the ability to simulate populations with desired genetic and non-genetic parameters. However, this feature often fails when non-additive effects due to dominance or epistasis are modeled, as the desired...
