A fast Newton-Raphson based iterative algorithm for large scale optimal contribution selection.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE - 20 Sept 2016

Dagnachew Binyam S, Meuwissen Theo H E

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The management of genetic variation in a breeding scheme relies very much on the control of the average relationship between selected parents. Optimum contribution selection is a method that seeks the optimum way to select for genetic improvement while controlling the rate of inbreeding. METHODS: A novel iterative algorithm, Gencont2, for calculating optimum genetic contributions was developed. It was...
