The fate of deleterious variants in a barley genomic prediction population
2018-10-12
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 where a mutation is likely to reduce fitness.
