Exploiting Tournament Selection for Efficient Parallel Genetic Programming

open access: yes, 2018
Genetic Programming (GP) is a computationally intensive technique which is naturally parallel in nature. Consequently, many attempts have been made to improve its run-time from exploiting highly parallel hardware such as GPUs.

QTLs detection for growth and initial latex production in rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The objective of this study was to analyse the genetic determinism of growth and latex production in rubber tree by a QTL approach. The plant material consisted of 196 progenies derived from the F1 family RRIM600 x PB217.

Multiple-line inference of selection on quantitative traits

open access: yes, 2015
Trait differences between species may be attributable to natural selection. However, quantifying the strength of evidence for selection acting on a particular trait is a difficult task.

Genetic Diversity in the Interference Selection Limit

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2014
Pervasive natural selection can strongly influence observed patterns of genetic variation, but these effects remain poorly understood when multiple selected variants segregate in nearby regions of the genome. Classical population genetics fails to account for interference between linked mutations, which grows increasingly severe as the density of ...

GENETIC CHANGES WITH GENERATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL SELECTION [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics, 1980
ABSTRACT Using conditional probabilities and moment-generating matrices, I derived approximate algebraic equations that give expectations of gene frequency, population mean, gene frequency variance within lines, or heterozygosity, and gene frequency variance between lines, or drift, for repeated cycles of recurrent selection in ...

Status of cacao breeding in Cote d'Ivoire [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Cocoa breeding in Côte-d'Ivoire was initially based on the creation and selection of bi-parental crosses (hybrid varieties) with yield as the main criterion. Since the introduction of Upper Amazon (UA) materials in 1954, hundreds of "single pair" crosses

The statistical mechanics of a polygenic characterunder stabilizing selection, mutation and drift

open access: yes, 2010
By exploiting an analogy between population genetics and statistical mechanics, we study the evolution of a polygenic trait under stabilizing selection, mutation, and genetic drift.

Investigating the benefits and perils of importing genetic material in small cattle breeding programs via simulation

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science, 2023
: Small breeding programs are limited in achieving competitive genetic gain and prone to high rates of inbreeding. Thus, they often import genetic material to increase genetic gain and to limit the loss of genetic variability.

Direct and indirect selection and index selection in broiler line

open access: yesSemina: Ciências Agrárias, 2014
Selection methods were compared direct and indirect selection and index selection related to productive traits, using information from 1962 female and 3870 male in maternal and paternal broiler line.

Cross‐sex genetic correlations for fitness and fitness components: Connecting theoretical predictions to empirical patterns

open access: yesEvolution Letters, 2019
Sex differences in morphology, physiology, development, and behavior are widespread, yet the sexes inherit nearly identical genomes, causing most traits to exhibit strong and positive cross‐sex genetic correlations.
