Relationship between 2 metric characters whose values are correlated in the individuals of
a population
•
Relationship between 2 metric characters whose values are correlated in the individuals of
a population
•
Why are correlated characters important?
•
Effects of pleiotropy in quantitative genetics
– Pleiotropy – gene affects 2 or more characters
– (e.g. genes that increase growth rate increase both height and weight)
•
Selection – how will the improvement in one character cause simultaneous changes in
other characters?

Selection – how will the improvement in one character cause simultaneous changes in

•
Causes of correlation:
•
Genetic
– mainly pleiotropy
– but some genes may cause +r, while some cause –r, so overall effect not always
detectable
•
Environmental
– two characters influenced by the same differences in the environment
•
•
We can only observe the phenotypic correlation
How to decompose it into genetic and environmental causal components?

Estimation of the genetic correlation

Analogous to estimation of heritabilities, but instead of ANOVA we use an ANCOVA

Half-sib families
• Design: a number of sires each mated to several dames (random mating)
• A number of offspring from each dam are measured

σ2S = variance between means of half-sib families (phenotypic covariance of half-sibs) = ¼ VA
σ2S = variance between means of half-sib families (phenotypic covariance of half-sibs) = ¼ VA
σ2W  VT = VBG + VWG
VWG = VT – VBG
VBG = covFS
covFS = ½ VA + ¼ VD
σ2W = VWG = VT - ½ VA - ¼ VD
= VA + VD +VE - ½ VA - ¼ VD
= ½ VA + ¾ VD + VEW

In partitioning the covariance, instead of starting from individual values we start from the
product of the values of the 2 characters

Offspring-parent relationship

•
To estimate the heritability of one character, we compute the covariance of offspring and
parent
To estimate the genetic correlation between 2 characters we compute the “cross-variance”:
product of value of X in offspring and value of Y in parents
Cross-variance = ½ covA

Correlated response to selection

If we select for X, what will be the change in Y?
Correlated response to selection

If we select for X, what will be the change in Y?

•
The response in X – the mean breeding value of the selected individuals
The consequent change in Y – regression of breeding value of Y on breeding value of X
