Clarifying the relationship between average excesses and average effects of allele substitutions
Download2012
Yang, Rong-Cai, Álvarez-Castro, José M.
Fisher’s concepts of average effects and average excesses are at the core of the quantitative genetics theory. Their meaning and relationship have regularly been discussed and clarified. Here we develop a generalized set of one locus two-allele orthogonal contrasts for average excesses and...

Yang, Rong-Cai, Álvarez-Castro, José M.
Mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) is often based on a functional or statistical model of gene action involving two alleles per locus. Such model is adequate for mapping populations derived from a cross between two inbred lines as in many plants and some laboratory animals and for di-allelic...
