Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

In this chapter, topics focused on how to quantify the extent to which genes affect measured traits and how to use this information in breeding programmes. Highlights include: estimating heritability; estimating non-additive parameters, correlations, and genotype by environment interactions, molecular genetics and trait variations; and calculating inbreeding using SNP markers.
