Consequences of selection for improving production traits on the frequency of deleterious alleles for fitness.

Journal of animal science - 1 Mar 2009

Kearney J F, Navarro P, Haley C S, Villanueva B

Abstract excerpt

In this study the effect of artificial selection on BLUP EBV for production traits on the allele frequencies of a pleiotropic QTL affecting both production and disease susceptibility was investigated. Stochastic simulations were used to model artificial selection on a production trait that is controlled, in part, by a biallelic QTL that also controls susceptibility to disease. The QTL allele increasing production...
