Quantitative Genetics Videos
Videos made for the Quantitative Genetics discipline, of the post-graduate program in Genetics and Plant Breeding at ESALQ/USP, administered by professor Antonio Augusto Franco Garcia. You can find my annotations of all classes here, like the videos, those are in Portuguese. In English I recommend the Felipe Ferrão material, and is more complete than mine. You can access it here.
Single loci properties
Heritability and breeders equation
Epistasis and Cockerhan model
Epistasis is an effect that we must take into account when we are trying to understand the genotypic part of a polygenic trait. First, we try to understand at the level of a single locus, its additive and dominance effects. But as the name implies, the polygenic trait is controlled by several genes, so epistasis measures the interaction between genes from different loci.
Tools that we use to make the videos:
- OBS studio: record our video presentation.
- Lightworks: edit the video.
