C. Clark Cockerham
C. Clark Cockerham was an American quantitative geneticist at North Carolina State University whose variance-partitioning theory and 1984 Weir–Cockerham estimators remain widely used in population genetics.
Curtis P. Van Tassell
Curtis P. Van Tassell is an American research geneticist at the USDA Agricultural Research Service in Beltsville, Maryland, who helped transform dairy cattle breeding through genomic prediction.
David T. Burke
David T. Burke is an American geneticist at the University of Michigan who studies quantitative genetics of complex traits and received the 1996 PECASE award.
Edward Murray East
Edward Murray East (1879–1938) was an American plant geneticist at Harvard's Bussey Institution who showed continuous variation follows Mendelian inheritance and helped found hybrid corn.
Edward S. Buckler
Edward S. Buckler is an American plant geneticist at the USDA-ARS and Cornell University known for statistical genetics of maize, the TASSEL software, and the maize NAM population.
Herman Nilsson-Ehle
Herman Nilsson-Ehle (1873–1949) was a Swedish geneticist and plant breeder whose 1909 wheat kernel-color experiments showed that continuously varying traits are inherited as discrete Mendelian factors.
I. Michael Lerner
I. Michael Lerner (Isadore Michael Lerner) was an American population geneticist at the University of California, Berkeley, known for the concept of genetic homeostasis and for making poultry breeding a quantitative science.
Jay Laurence Lush
Jay Laurence Lush (1896–1982) was an American animal geneticist at Iowa State University, professor of animal husbandry from 1930 to 1966, considered the father of scientific animal breeding.

Kenneth Mather
Kenneth Mather (1911–1990) was a British geneticist who founded the Birmingham school of biometrical genetics, coined the term polygene, and became the University of Birmingham's first professor of genetics in 1948.
