Institute of Cell, Animal and Population Biology, University of Edinburgh, West Mains Road, Edinburgh EH9 3JT, U K
Heredity (Edinb) 84:427-36. 2000..The modified form shows less bias in its estimates of heritability than the likelihood technique originally proposed...
Estimating quantitative genetic parameters using sibships reconstructed from marker dataS C Thomas
Institute of Cell, Animal and Population Biology, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH9 3JT, United Kingdom
Genetics 155:1961-72. 2000..Extensions to these techniques allow reconstruction of half sibships when some or all of the maternal genotypes are known...
Sibship reconstruction in hierarchical population structures using Markov chain Monte Carlo techniquesStuart C Thomas
Institute of Cell, Animal and Population Biology, University of Edinburgh, UK
Genet Res 79:227-34. 2002..Estimates of variance component are biased, with the direction and magnitude of bias being dependent upon the underlying errors made during pedigree reconstruction...
The estimation of genetic relationships using molecular markers and their efficiency in estimating heritability in natural populationsStuart C Thomas
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 360:1457-67. 2005..I review the different approaches to relationship estimation, with particular attention to optimizing the use of this relationship information in subsequent variance component estimation...
