Estimation of nonadditive genetic variances for a total-merit model including maternal effects.

Journal of animal science - 1 Aug 1993

Van Vleck L D

Abstract excerpt

Henderson described a method to reduce the number of mixed-model equations when estimating additive and nonadditive genetic variances or predicting additive and nonadditive genetic merits. The extension to a maternal effects model is straight-forward. When maternal genetic effects are strictly ad...
