Abstract excerpt
Testing (over)dominance as the genetic cause of heterosis and estimating the (over)dominance coefficient (h) are related. Using simulations, we investigate the statistical properties of Mukai's approach, which is intended to estimate the average (h) of hi across loci by regression of outcrossed progeny on the sum of the two corresponding homozygous parents. A new approach for estimating h is also developed,...
