Optimizing selection on multiple identified quantitative trait loci in population with overlapping generations.

Abstract excerpt

A method was developed to model and optimize selection on multiple identified quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and polygenic estimated breeding value, in order to maximize a weighted sum of cumulative response to selection over multiple years in a population with overlapping generations. The model allows for a population with multiple sex-age classes, different number of age class between sires and dams, and varied...
