A novel method for the estimation of the relative importance of breeds in order to conserve the total genetic variance.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE - 1 Jan 2000

Bennewitz Jörn, Meuwissen Theo H E

Abstract excerpt

The need for conservation of farm animal genetic resources is widely accepted. A key question is the choice of breeds to be conserved. For this purpose, a core set of breeds was introduced in that the total genetic variance of a hypothetical quantitative trait was maximised (MVT core set). For each breed the relative contribution to the core set was estimated and the breeds were ranked for conservation priority...
