Abstract excerpt
Genotype-assisted selection (GAS), i.e. selection for an identified quantitative trait locus (QTL) and polygenic background genes, has been shown to increase short-term genetic gain but may reduce long-term genetic gains. In order to avoid this reduction of long-term gain, multi-generation optimization of truncation selection schemes is needed. This paper presents a multi-generation optimization of optimum...
