Article Selection Is No More Efficient in Haploid than in Diploid Life
... The masking hypothesis predicts that selection is more efficient in haploids than in diploids, because dominant alleles can mask the deleterious effects of recessive alleles in diploids. However, gene expression breadth and noise can potentially counteract the effect of masking on the rate at which ...

Conditional likelihood score functions for mixed models in linkage
... For binary traits, nonparametric linkage (NPL) is another method developed in situations when the genetic model parameters are unknown. The affected-pedigree-member (APM) method is the most commonly used version of NPL. A score function S is used which does not require specification of a genetic mod ...
