heritability estimation

Hello,

I'm looking for a method to estimate narrow sense heritability of  
traits in
a RIL population.

I admit to not knowing that TLA.

Papers I've checked either use either SAS or SPSS or do
not give any details at all. I've found some reference to using  
variance
components in ANOVA, using the kinship or wgaim packages, but I  
don't have a
clue as to how to do any of this.
Is there any way fro a very R illiterate user to do it?

(I will also admit to at first reading that as "illegitimate".   
Apologies.)

To become less illiterate (and also less "illegitimate" in the r-help  
context) you should consider first using one of the many search  
facilities. For instance, at an r-console session, try this:

install.packages("sos")
require(sos)
findFn("heritability")
# found 60 matches;  retrieving 3 pages
2 3

I don't have the knowledge or experience to pick through all those  
candidates ... but you presumably do.

Thanks
