Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Mean alleles per locus and expected heterozygosity were preserved across selection cycles.
- Association Genetic drift was the main force changing allele frequencies.
- Observation Selectively non-neutral loci comprised 16% to 37% per selection cycle.
- Observation Some non-neutral loci co-localized with published agronomic QTLs.
- Observation Genetic variation was 5.6% among and 94.4% within cycle populations.
- Association Excess homozygosity at several loci was consistent across cycles, suggesting assortative mating.
- Observation The M3S population was essentially in linkage equilibrium.
- Observation Significant linkage disequilibrium involved 0.1% to 1.8% of locus pairs across cycles.
