IOMETRICAL GENETICS: Analysis of Quantitative Variation describes the geneticanalyses for working out the genetic architecture of quantitative traits. Thebook provides brief description of both univariate and multivariate statistics. The genetic analyses include study of basic generations and the use of multiple mating designs such as BIPs, NC1, NC2, Diallel, NC3 and TTC. Variation arising due to linkage, epistasis, environment, maternal effect and sex linkage are also described. Models of G x E interaction and competition and biometrical genetics of polyploids and haploid are described. Biometrical genetics of heterosis and inbreeding depression and the method for calculation of inbreedingcoefficient are given. Methods for estimation of heritability and number of effective factors are given. H-W equilibrium and the evolutionary forces are described in detail. Selection theory including path coefficient analysis is fully described. QTL analysis and models for estimating genetic parameters are fully described. This book ends with a chapter on matrix and biometrical problems which will help in carrying out practical in this course.
