Genetic Costs of Domestication and Improvement.

The Journal of heredity - 14 Feb 2018

Moyers Brook T, Morrell Peter L, McKay John K

Abstract excerpt

The "cost of domestication" hypothesis posits that the process of domesticating wild species can result in an increase in the number, frequency, and/or proportion of deleterious genetic variants that are fixed or segregating in the genomes of domesticated species. This cost may limit the efficacy of selection and thus reduce genetic gains in breeding programs for these species. Understanding when and how...
