Purging of inbreeding depression within the Irish Holstein-Friesian population [PDF]
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2009 The objective of this study was to investigate whether inbreeding depression in milk production or fertility performance has been partially purged due to selection within the Irish Holstein-Friesian population.

Short communication: The importance of random effects in detecting purging of inbreeding depression: A model comparison in Pannon White rabbits [PDF]
AnimalInbreeding depression (ID) is a well-documented phenomenon associated with reduced fitness and possible extinction. However, ID can be mitigated or even eliminated through the interplay of inbreeding and selection, a process known as purging.

Ballou’s Ancestral Inbreeding Coefficient: Formulation and New Estimate with Higher Reliability [PDF]
AnimalsInbreeding is unavoidable in small populations. However, the deleterious effects of inbreeding on fitness-related traits (inbreeding depression) may not be an inevitable phenomenon, since deleterious recessive alleles causing inbreeding depression might ...

Revised Calculation of Kalinowski’s Ancestral and New Inbreeding Coefficients [PDF]
Diversity, 2020 To test for the presence of purging in populations, the classical pedigree-based inbreeding coefficient (F) can be decomposed into Kalinowski’s ancestral (FANC) and new (FNEW) inbreeding coefficients.

Prediction of fitness under different breeding designs in conservation programs [PDF]
, 2022 The expected change in fitness under inbreeding due to deleterious recessive alleles depends on the amount of inbreeding load harbored by a population, that is, the load of deleterious recessive mutations concealed in the heterozygous state, and the ...

The effect of purging on sexually selected traits through antagonistic pleiotropy with survival [PDF]
, 2012 Sexually selected traits are expected to evolve to a point where their positive effect on reproductive success is counterbalanced by their negative effect on survival.

Detection of genetic purging and predictive value of purging parameters estimated in pedigreed populations [PDF]
, 2018 The consequences of inbreeding for fitness are important in evolutionary and conservation biology, but can critically depend on genetic purging. However, estimating purging has proven elusive.
