Quantum genetic selection

Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference Companion, 2021
This paper proposes an innovative selection operator based on concepts from quantum mechanics. In particular, a quantum state is used to embody genetic individuals and their fitness values, and a quantum algorithm known as amplitude amplification is used to modify this state in order to create a quantum superposition in which the probability to measure

Genetic selection of boars

Theriogenology, 2008
Selection of boars by visual appraisal is the simplest and oldest method used by the swine industry. However, individual performance testing, and later use of computers to incorporate relatives' data and account for environmental variation, resulted in greater rate of improvement for economically important traits.

Some Models of Genetic Selection

Biometrics, 1979
This paper begins with a description of the classical theory of viability selection in which probabilities that individuals of various genotypes survive are in proportions that do not change with time and are independent of population structure. Salient features of viability selection with one and two loci are reviewed.

Genetic Selection for Mastitis Resistance

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2018
Mastitis is a prevalent and costly disease on dairy farms. Improved management and hygiene can reduce the risk of infection by contagious or environmental pathogens, and genetic selection can confer permanent improvement in mastitis resistance. National veterinary recording systems in the Nordic countries have allowed direct selection for sire families

GENETIC SELECTION AND THE STATUS OF THE EMBRYO

Bioethics, 1993
In this paper I want to try to clarify the nature of the two different problems indicated in the title: there is a lively debate on whether or not genetic selection is a morally licit practice, and there are strong disagreements on whether or not the embryo is a person.

Genetic interactions drive selection

Science, 2017
Evolutionary Genetics Most individuals carry at least some potentially deleterious variants in their genome. But the effects of these mutations on individuals are not well understood. Sohail et al. examined loss-of-function (LOF) mutations in the genomes of humans and flies.

Genetic selection for extensive conditions

Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 1996
Abstract Humans have selected animals which are more suited for food production or other purposes, since the process of domestication of livestock began, whether this selection was done knowingly or unknowingly. The deliberate selection of improved breeds and strains has been a particularly important feature of agriculture in the last couple of ...

Genetic Selection and Equilibrium Stability

Acta geneticae medicae et gemellologiae, 1977
The problem of the equilibrium stability of a phenotypic selection process, with a single pair of autosomal alleles, has been numerically studied, on the basis of previously established reproduction differential equations.
