Response to selection while maximizing genetic variance in small populations.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE - 20 Sept 2016

Cervantes Isabel, Gutiérrez Juan Pablo, Meuwissen Theo H E

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Rare breeds represent a valuable resource for future market demands. These populations are usually well-adapted, but their low census compromises the genetic diversity and future of these breeds. Since improvement of a breed for commercial traits may also confer higher probabilities of survival for the breed, it is important to achieve good responses to artificial selection. Therefore, efficient...
