The minimum number of genes contributing to quantitative variation between and within populations.

Genetics - 1 Jan 2000

Lande R

Abstract excerpt

A procedure is outlined for estimating the minimum number of freely segregating genetic factors, nE, contributing to the difference in a quantitative character between two populations that have diverged by artificial or natural selection. If certain simple criteria are satisfied approximately on an appropriate scale of measurement, nE can be estimated by comparing the phenotypic means and variances in the two...
