Abstract

This paper provides a general method to derive algebraic expressions of genotype frequencies for multiple loci under various mating systems, including random mating, back-crossing, selfing, and full-sib mating. For each mating system, general equations are presented. In the case of three loci, comprehensive tables provide recurrence equations for genotype frequencies under random or self mating, and expected genotype frequencies after two generations of full-sib mating. Our results should prove useful in genetic linkage analysis.
