We investigated the role of the number of loci coding for a neutral trait on the release of additive variance for this trait after population bottlenecks. Different bottleneck sizes and durations were ...

A few weeks ago I posted on how population bottlenecks can convert dominance variance into additive genetic variance. This is important because it is additive genetic variance that is relevant for ...

Procedures for calculating the additive genetic variance-covariance matrix and its inverse are adapted to accommodate the occurrence of mutations in the genome. The inverse matrix can be used in mixed ...
