Visualization of inheritance patterns from graphic representation of additive and dominance relationships between animals.

Abstract excerpt

Evaluation of pedigrees of normal and affected individuals help to suggest possible patterns of inheritance. Because large numbers of individuals are involved in studies of genetic disease, classic two-dimensional family tree charts are difficult to draw. Instead, DFA plots of graduated circles, weighted by dominance relationships, inbreeding, and additive relationships between individuals can be plotted above,...
