The GS (genetic selection) Principle

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2009
The GS (Genetic Selection) Principle states that biological selection must occur at the nucleotide-sequencing molecular-genetic level of 3'5' phosphodiester bond formation. After-the-fact differential survival and reproduction of already-living phenotypic organisms (ordinary natural selection) does not explain polynucleotide prescription and coding ...

A Genetical Theory of Species Selection

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1995
Species selection, differential rates of speciation or extinction resulting from species level characters, is often invoked as the main mechanism of macroevolution that is not simply an extension of microevolutionary processes. So long as we are careful in defining "species", the logic of species selection is sound.

How epigenetic evolution can guide genetic evolution (abstract)

, 2008
The expression level of a gene in future generations can be modified both by genetic mutations and by the attachment of methyl groups to the DNA. Since the DNA methylation pattern along a genome is inherited, methylation patterns constitute a significant

Comparative evaluation of phenotypic, pedigree, and family-based selection in insect breeding using stochastic simulation

Animal
Selective breeding in insects has predominantly relied on phenotypic selection without considering relatedness. Selection on estimated breeding values could potentially increase genetic gain, but the challenge of pedigree tracking complicates this ...

Across-rotation genetic analysis and multitrait selection in a cloned cross of Eucalyptus urophylla × E. tereticornis

Frontiers in Plant Science
Clonal testing is crucial for estimating genetic parameters and selecting elite clones. However, few studies have tested clones over two or more rotations.

Genetic parameters and trends for production and reproduction traits of a Landrace herd in China

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2016
The objectives of this study were to estimate the genetic parameters and the breeding progress in a Landrace herd in China, and to predict the potential benefits by applying new breeding technology.

THE BIOETHICAL CHALLENGE OF PREDICTIVE GENETIC (IN SPANISH)

Revista Ciencias Biomédicas, 2014
Predictive medicine appears as consequence of the interest to be able to determine which are going to be the diseases that the individual is going to present in the future. Its motivation is to prevent, as far as possible, these diseases and to develop
