Testing frequency-based methods of genic selection in addition to genomic selection in goats.

Abstract excerpt

Genic selection manages specific genes or genomic regions as part of a breeding scheme. Its uncontrolled application can substantially impact genetic gain for an overall objective or inbreeding or both. A traditional approach would consider the economic impacts of genic selection. However, in some cases, the economic values attached to genotypes involved in genic selection cannot be determined accurately. This...
