The lastest edition of this classic text continues to provide the basis for understanding the genetic principles behind quantitative differences in phenotypes and how they apply to animal and plant improvement and evolution. It extends these concepts to the segregation of genes that cause genetic variation in quantitative traits. Key techniques and methods are also covered.

Needs a major overhaul in the post-genome epoch

September 3, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

A monstrous, titanic classic of the field that echoes through the post-genome era with only a bit of rust. Many of the concepts discussed in the book are still relevant, although the focus is strongly slanted toward animal breeding and especially Drosophila experiments. The language is badly dated, for example "metric character" is used throughout the text to refer to what is today called a quantitative trait. Beyond diction, Falconer's construction and grammar make for unwieldy sentences that seem to almost intentionally obfuscate the points. One would hope that Trudy Mackay would have updated the language, which reads closer to Chaucer than Darwin.
Coverage of next-generation sequencing and even array-based genotyping in large panels of humans is pretty sorely lacking. Human genotype data is pushing into the millions of subjects, yet discussion of heritability and related topics in this book hasn't been modernized.
Overall a tome of titanic importance to quantitative geneticists, but needs updating both in content and in language.

Comment

Excellent to accompany a dedicated course

January 31, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I purchased this as a reference while beginning my doctoral program. It's an excellent resource. It's more advanced than some other books but useful long-term for quant genetics research. I used it consistently while taking a quant/pop genetics course and it helped reinforce key concepts and helped me understand those concepts in practice.

Comment

The best introduction to quantitative genetics

June 9, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This quickly brings you up to speed from zero to a functional level of knowledge. This works best if you do the practice problems or have your own experimental data to play with.

It looks like somebody scanned the first version and just printed it

It looks like somebody scanned the first version and just printed it, with no care about keeping the text readable. It was a waste of money and I still have to buy another book to really study...

One of the best. A classic.

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Very simply, one of the best textbooks on quantitative genetics out there. It's still one of my go-to references for basic concepts, equations, and lucid explanation.
