BIOMETRICAL GENETICS: Analysis of Quantitative Variation describes the genetic analyses for working out the genetic architecture of quantitative traits. The book provides brief description of both univariate and multivariate statistics. The genetic analyses include study of basic generations and the
I couldn't get to grips with the style of this book. I'll warn you now that the author assumes alot about the reader, that you have a firm understanding of genetic principles and terms - this narrows the target audience to I would say a specialist in genetics. This is not a general text - look to St
Univ. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Textbook for undergraduates and graduates familiar with basic genetics. Assumes knowledge of meiosis and Mendelian genetics. Two themes prevail: How do we establish that a trait is hereditary? and How can the properties of a trait be explained by the underlying
Arnold Saxton, Ph.D., the editor of this volume, is a professor of animal science at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. During years of research and teaching in statistics and genetics, Dr. Saxton recognized the need for a how-to introduction to SAS computer analysis for complex-trait genetics.
