[R-sig-ME] Maternal Genetic Effects in MCMCglmm

[Eryn McFarlane]

Dear List,

I hope that you can help me. I would like to use MCMCglmm to estimate Maternal Genetic Effects. 
I think that what I want to do is use an A matrix for the maternal effects, and I think that I want to do this by linking my "dam" random effect to the pedigree somehow.
Does anyone know if there is a way to do this that is already written into MCMCglmm? I have not seen anything previously in the list about this, so if it exists else where, then that would be excellent as well.

Thank you for your help,

Eryn
