heritability estimation

Moohbear,

I may be able to help, in that I've had some graduate course work in plant breeding and some experience with R.

However, I can't tell for certain with the information provided. What papers that use SAS or SPSS are you citing? 

The question I would ask, in order to determine if I could help, might be more domain-specific - what kind of traits are you measuring, what type of experiments - so I don't know if that would should be continued on this list.

Hello,

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

Thanks
