Genomic dissection of inbreeding depression: a gate to new opportunities
Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2017 Inbreeding depression, reduction in performance of quantitative traits, including reproduction and survival, caused by inbreeding, is a well-known phenomenon observed in almost all experimental, domesticated, and natural populations.

Balancing gain and diversity: Optimal contribution selection for sustainable genetic improvement in sugarcane [PDF]
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.Abstract Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids), the source of ∼80% of the worlds sugar, has experienced a plateau in genetic improvement over recent decades. This stagnation is largely due to the crop's complex polyploid genome and long breeding cycles, which limit the efficiency of traditional selection methods.

Characterizing and Eliminating the Inbreeding Load
Veterinary Sciences, 2023 The authors evaluated the relevant literature related to purging, which is the interaction between selection and inbreeding in which the population may eliminate its inbreeding load at least partially. According to the relevant literature, the inbreeding

Predicting the rate of inbreeding in populations undergoing four-path selection on genomically enhanced breeding values [PDF]
Animal Bioscience, 2022 Objective A formula is needed that is practical for current livestock breeding methods and that predicts the approximate rate of inbreeding (ΔF) in populations where selection is performed according to four-path programs (sires to breed sons, sires to ...

Genomic signatures of inbreeding depression for a threatened Aotearoa New Zealand passerine
Molecular Ecology, 2023 For small and isolated populations, the increased chance of mating between related individuals can result in a substantial reduction in individual and population fitness.

Management of diversity and inbreeding when importing new stock into an inbred population
Journal of Heredity, 2023 This article relates to breeding programs that seek to manage genetic diversity. The method maximizes a multicomponent objective function, applicable across breeding scenarios. However, this paper focuses on breeding decisions following immigration of 10

Molecular Ecology, 2021 Inbreeding can lead to a loss of heterozygosity in a population and when combined with genetic drift may reduce the adaptive potential of a species.

Does haplodiploidy purge inbreeding depression in rotifer populations? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Inbreeding depression is an important evolutionary factor, particularly when new habitats are colonized by few individuals. Then, inbreeding depression by drift could favour the establishment of later immigrants because their hybrid offspring ...

Evaluating the selection of improved Fars native fowl with the inbreeding assessment approach [PDF]
پژوهش های علوم دامی, 2022 Introduction: Performance of native fowl can be improved by making changes in feeding, rearing and health issues. Genetic improvement of these breeds can be achieved through the breeding programs such as selection, crossbreeding, or both.
