Résumé :
|
The lastest edition of this classic text continues to provide the basis for understanding the genetic principles behind quantitative differences in phenotypes and how they apply to animal and plant improvement and evolution. It extends these concepts to the segregation of genes that cause genetic variation in quantitative traits. Key techniques and methods are also covered. - New chapter on Quantitative Trait Loci - Fully revised chapter on natural selection, with increased emphasis on maintenance of variation by mutation-selection balance - Incorporates essential maths necessary for using computer algorithms - Addresses potential applications in animal and plant breeding, and human disease - More evolutionary and molecular examples and problems - Problems and solutions based on real data to test understanding
