Pigeon Breeding Gene Calculator¶
Predict your racing pigeon’s offspring genotypes accurately using Mendelian inheritance. This tool considers 8 key performance genes to calculate probabilities of all possible combinations and highlight the best and worst genotypes.
How the Calculator Works¶
Each of the 8 genes (LDHA, CRY1, DRD4, F-KER, MSTN, LRP8, GSR, CASK) is considered independently. The tool calculates offspring probabilities for each gene according to Mendelian inheritance, multiplies probabilities across genes to obtain all possible offspring genotype probabilities, and evaluates each offspring using a scoring system to determine the best and worst possible genotypes.
FAQ¶
- What does this calculator do? It predicts offspring genotype probabilities for 8 key pigeon genes based on parental genotypes.
- How accurate is it? It uses Mendelian inheritance rules for precise probabilities.
- What are the grades (Excellent/Good/Average)? Each gene has a reference standard used to evaluate offspring genotypes.
- Can I select any genotype? Only reference genotypes are included in the dropdowns to ensure correct calculation.
