Genetic selection strategies–population genetics

Poultry Science, 1997
This paper provides an overview of the association between population genetics and selection strategies in poultry. Relationships between artificial and natural selection and among causes contributing to limits to artificial selection are discussed.

Genetic Selection and Conservation of Genetic Diversity* [PDF]

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, 2012
ContentsFor 100s of years, livestock producers have employed various types of selection to alter livestock populations. Current selection strategies are little different, except our technologies for selection have become more powerful. Genetic resources at the breed level have been in and out of favour over time.

Strategies Using Genomic Selection to Increase Genetic Gain in Breeding Programs for Wheat

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
Conventional wheat-breeding programs involve crossing parental lines and subsequent selfing of the offspring for several generations to obtain inbred lines. Such a breeding program takes more than 8 years to develop a variety.

A lexicographic multi-objective genetic algorithm for multi-label correlation-based feature selection [PDF]

, 2015
This paper proposes a new Lexicographic multi-objective Genetic Algorithm for Multi-Label Correlation-based Feature Selection (LexGA-ML-CFS), which is an extension of the previous single-objective Genetic Algorithm for Multi-label Correlation-based ...

Genetic analysis of environmental variation [PDF]

, 2010
Environmental variation (V-E) in a quantitative trait - variation in phenotype that cannot be explained by genetic variation or identifiable genetic differences - can be regarded as being under some degree of genetic control. Such variation may be either

Environmental coupling of selection and heritability limits evolution [PDF]

, 2006
There has recently been great interest in applying theoretical quantitative genetic models to empirical studies of evolution in wild populations. However, while classical models assume environmental constancy, most natural populations exist in variable ...

Feature selection for modular GA-based classification [PDF]

, 2004
Genetic algorithms (GAs) have been used as conventional methods for classifiers to adaptively evolve solutions for classification problems. Feature selection plays an important role in finding relevant features in classification.

The effect of genomic information on optimal contribution selection in livestock breeding programs [PDF]

, 2013
Long-term benefits in animal breeding programs require that increases in genetic merit be balanced with the need to maintain diversity (lost due to inbreeding). This can be achieved by using optimal contribution selection.

Prediction of genetic gain from quadratic optimisation with constrained rates of inbreeding [PDF]

, 2006
There are selection methods available that allow the optimisation of genetic contributions of selection candidates for maximising the rate of genetic gain while restricting the rate of inbreeding. These methods imply selection on quadratic indices as the
