Dear all,
A kind of "multi-population" animal model framework which accounts for inter-
population, as well as for intra-population genetic structure has been developed
by Ovaskainen /et al./:
Ovaskainen, O., Karhunen, M., Zheng, C., Arias, J. M. C. & Merilä, J. A new method to
uncover signatures of divergent and stabilizing selection in quantitative traits.
/Genetics/ *189,* 621–632 (2011).
Instead of assuming a homogeneous Va across population, but maybe having a
population×additive genetic interaction (i.e. a population-specific Va component)
would solve this issue?
Regards,Pierre
