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 ...

A new theory for the evolution of polyandry as a means of inbreeding avoidance [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2007 We propose a novel theory for the evolution of polyandry driven by genetic benefits to females whose offspring interbreed. In species with an ecology characterized by frequent colonization of new habitat patches, consanguineous matings may be common during the early stages of colonization, but genetic diversity may grow as new colonizers arrive.

BMC Genomics, 2021 Background Although inbreeding caused by the mating of animals related through a recent common ancestor is expected to have more harmful effects on phenotypes than ancient inbreeding (old inbreeding), estimating these effects requires a clear definition ...

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.

What happens after inbreeding avoidance? Inbreeding by rejected relatives and the inclusive fitness benefit of inbreeding avoidance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Avoiding inbreeding, and therefore avoiding inbreeding depression in offspring fitness, is widely assumed to be adaptive in systems with biparental reproduction.

Inbreeding levels in Northeast Brazil: strategies for the prospecting of new genetic disorders [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2010 A new autosomal recessive genetic condition, the SPOAN syndrome (an acronym for spastic paraplegia, optic atrophy and neuropathy syndrome), was recently discovered in an isolated region of the State of Rio Grande do Norte in Northeast Brazil, in a population that was identified by the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) as belonging ...

Genomic signatures of inbreeding depression for a threatened Aotearoa New Zealand passerine
Molecular Ecology, 2023 AbstractFor small and isolated populations, the increased chance of mating between related individuals can result in a substantial reduction in individual and population fitness. Despite the increasing availability of genomic data to measure inbreeding accurately across the genome, inbreeding depression studies for threatened species are still scarce ...
