Breeding value and variance component estimation from data containing inbred individuals: application to gynogenetic families in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.).

Abstract excerpt

Under gynogenetic reproduction, offspring receive genes only from their dams and completely homozygous offspring are produced within one generation. When gynogenetic reproduction is applied to fully inbred individuals, homozygous clone lines are produced. A mixed model method was developed for breeding value and variance component estimation in gynogenetic families, which requires the inverse of the numerator...
