Consequences for diversity when animals are prioritized for conservation of the whole genome or of one specific allele.

Abstract excerpt

When animals are selected for one specific allele, for example for inclusion in a gene bank, this may result in the loss of diversity in other parts of the genome. The aim of this study was to quantify the risk of losing diversity across the genome when targeting a single allele for conservation when storing animals in a gene bank. From a small Holstein population, genotyped for 54,001 SNP loci, animals were...
