I need estimates of how much variance is explained by each marker in each family, which is the end point of this exercise-
and the significance of variance explained by each marker- which is why am trying to print 'anova' results for each run of the lmer. -- But these will just be essentially random numbers anyway due to multiplicity and the difficulties with obtaining statistically meaningful measures of significance that Doug Bates has elegantly elaborated on this list! So why bother?
