Abstract excerpt
We describe a single-locus quantitative genetic model that incorporates effects due to DNA methylation. Extending Fisher's decomposition of the genotypic value, we distinguish two quantities to predict an individual's phenotypic or genetic values: the "basic genetic value" and the "expressed genetic value". We show how these quantities relate to the concept of breeding value and derive their corresponding...
