AN EXPERIMENTAL EVALUATION OF GENETIC CORRELATION [PDF]
Genetics, 1973 ABSTRACT Heritability and genetic correlations realized from both single-trait and antagonistic index selection were compared with paternal half-sib estimates. Primary attention was focused on the genetic correlation between six-week body weight and six-week tail length.

Genetic correlations in mutation processes [PDF]
Physical Review E, 1999 We study the role of phylogenetic trees on correlations in mutation processes. Generally, correlations decay exponentially with the generation number. We find that two distinct regimes of behavior exist. For mutation rates smaller than a critical rate, the underlying tree morphology is almost irrelevant, while mutation rates higher than this critical ...

Genetic correlations among protein yield, productive life, and type traits from the United States and diseases other than mastitis from Denmark and Sweden [PDF]
, 1999 Sire genetic evaluations for protein yield, productive life, and selected type traits from the US were correlated with sire evaluations for disease from Denmark and Sweden and were then adjusted to approximate genetic correlations.

Genetic correlations among somatic cell scores, productive life, and type traits from the United States and udder health measures from Denmark and Sweden [PDF]
, 1998 Sire genetic evaluations for protein yield, somatic cell score (SCS), productive life, and udder type traits from the US were correlated with sire evaluations for udder health from Denmark and Sweden and then the correlations were adjusted for accuracies

Genetic architecture of rainbow trout survival from egg to adult [PDF]
, 2010 Survival from birth to a reproductive adult is a challenge that only robust individuals resistant to a variety of mortality factors will overcome. To assess whether survival traits share genetic architecture throughout the life cycle, we estimated ...

A COMPARISON OF GENETIC AND PHENOTYPIC CORRELATIONS [PDF]
Evolution, 1988 Genetic variances and correlations lie at the center of quantitative evolutionary theory. They are often difficult to estimate, however, due to the large samples of related individuals that are required. I investigated the relationship of genetic- and phenotypic-correlation magnitudes and patterns in 41 pairs of matrices drawn from the literature in ...

Genetic basis of growth, spring phenology, and susceptibility to biotic stressors in maritime pine
Evolutionary Applications, 2021 Forest ecosystems are increasingly challenged by extreme events, for example, drought, storms, pest attacks, and fungal pathogen outbreaks, causing severe ecological and economic losses.

On the Sampling Variance of Intraclass Correlations and Genetic Correlations [PDF]
Genetics, 1998 Abstract Widely used standard expressions for the sampling variance of intraclass correlations and genetic correlation coefficients were reviewed for small and large sample sizes. For the sampling variance of the intraclass correlation, it was shown by simulation that the commonly used expression, derived using a first-order Taylor ...
