Novel strategies to minimize progeny inbreeding while maximizing genetic gain using genomic information.

Abstract excerpt

In this study, 3 strategies for controlling progeny inbreeding in mating plans were compared. The strategies used information from pedigree inbreeding coefficients, genomic relationships, or shared runs of homozygosity. The strategies were compared for the reduction in genetic gain and progeny inbreeding that would be expected from selected matings, and for the decrease of homozygosity of deleterious recessive...
