Factors influencing the efficiency of a marker-assisted introgression programme in Merino sheep.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

This study investigated a marker-assisted introgression programme in Australian Merino sheep. The goal was to introgress an allele with a large negative effect on fibre diameter into a Merino flock possessing medium average fibre diameter. The influence of two factors was explored: the strategy used to select animals from the purebred and backcross line for backcrossing purposes and the use of selection on...
