Effective Population Size of Korean Populations [PDF]
Genomics & Informatics, 2014 Recently, new methods have been developed for estimating the current and recent changes in effective population sizes. Based on the methods, the effective population sizes of Korean populations were estimated using data from the Korean Association ...

Evidence for variation in the effective population size of animal mitochondrial DNA [PDF]
, 2009 Background: It has recently been shown that levels of diversity in mitochondrial DNA are remarkably constant across animals of diverse census population sizes and ecologies, which has led to the suggestion that the effective population of mitochondrial ...

Effective population size in Busha and Gatačko cattle from Herzegovina: Ecological and molecular approach [PDF]
Agroznanje, 2013 The effective population size (Ne) is one of basic core concepts in population genetics. Monitoring the effective population size, which is parallel to monitoring genetic variability, is of importance to population genetic studies and is applicable in ...

Pedigree analysis of Santa Inês sheep and inbreeding effects on performance traits
Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Pecuarias, 2020 Population parameters such as effective population size and coefficients of inbreeding are important information of a population but have rarely been studied in Santa Inês sheep.
