A parallel optimization approach for controlling allele diversity in conservation schemes.

Abstract excerpt

We propose a novel method to control allelic diversity in conservation schemes based on an optimization problem, characterized by a convex program subject to integer linear constraints. Departing from previous studies considering similar problems, we implement a parallel simulated annealing algorithm to minimize the number of alleles lost across generations. The proposed algorithm shows excellent timing and...
