Genetic heterogeneity of residual variance - estimation of variance components using double hierarchical generalized linear models

BACKGROUND: The sensitivity to microenvironmental changes varies among animals and may be under genetic control. It is essential to take this element into account when aiming at breeding robust farm animals. Here, linear mixed models with genetic effects in the residual variance part of the model ca...
