Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In this work, we performed simulations to explore the potential of manipulating recombination rates to increase response to selection in livestock breeding programs. METHODS: We carried out ten replicates of several scenarios that followed a common overall structure but differed in the average rate of recombination along the genome (expressed as the length of a chromosome in Morgan), the genetic...
