Evaluation of genetic trend in milk production of buffalo cattle in Colombia
Revista Científica, 2023 Assessing genetic trends in livestock is pivotal for comprehending how populations have evolved over time. This provides valuable insights into the direction and magnitude of genetic change, which is crucial for evaluating the outcomes of selection ...

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2022 Background Genomic selection has revolutionized genetic improvement in animals and plants, but little is known about its long-term effects. Here, we investigated the long-term effects of genomic selection on response to selection, genetic variance, and ...

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Plant breeding is a decision-making discipline based on understanding project objectives. Genetic improvement projects can have two competing objectives: maximize the rate of genetic improvement and minimize the loss of useful genetic variance.

Prediction of breeding values and selection responses with genetic heterogeneity of environmental variance [PDF]
, 2007 There is empirical evidence that genotypes differ not only in mean, but also in environmental variance of the traits they affect. Genetic heterogeneity of environmental variance may indicate genetic differences in environmental sensitivity.

Runaway sexual selection without genetic correlations : social environments and flexible mate choice initiate and enhance the Fisher process [PDF]
, 2012 Female mating preferences are often flexible, reflecting the social environment in which they are expressed. Associated indirect genetic effects (IGEs) can affect the rate and direction of evolutionary change, but sexual selection models do not capture ...

Oracle selection provides insight into how far off practice is from Utopia in plant breeding
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Since the introduction of genomic selection in plant breeding, high genetic gains have been realized in different plant breeding programs. Various methods based on genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs) for selecting parental lines that maximize the ...

GENETIC SELECTION | Evaluation and Methods [PDF]
, 2002 The ultimate goal of animal selection is to create a new generation of animals that are superior to the current population. Superior is interpreted broadly to include functionality of animals, cost reduction of production, consumer perception, quality of products, and reduced environmental impact.

Marker assisted selection with optimised contributions of the candidates to selection [PDF]
, 2002 The benefits of marker assisted selection (MAS) are evaluated under realistic assumptions in schemes where the genetic contributions of the candidates to selection are optimised for maximising the rate of genetic progress while restricting the ...
