Breeding by numbers: an ancient endeavour that still resonates in the exciting era of functional genomics.

2005-01-01

Abstract excerpt

‘Breeding by numbers’ is the term commonly used to deride the practical application of quantitative genetics. However, even the most subjective methods of assessment of breeding stock actually involve breeding by numbers: whenever a judge has to choose a winner and a runner-up from a line of animals, he/she evaluates each animal for each of several traits, then assesses the relative importance of each trait, and t...
