The Fate of Deleterious Variants in a Barley Genomic Prediction Population.

Abstract excerpt

Targeted identification and purging of deleterious genetic variants has been proposed as a novel approach to animal and plant breeding. This strategy is motivated, in part, by the observation that demographic events and strong selection associated with cultivated species pose a "cost of domestication." This includes an increase in the proportion of genetic variants that are likely to reduce fitness. Recent...
