Genetic basis of response to 50 generations of selection on body weight in inbred mice.
A long-established inbred strain of mice was divergently selected for body weight for 50 generations. Selection of new mutations affecting the trait eventually led to a divergence of approximately three phenotypic standard deviations between the high and low lines. Heritability for body weight increased at a rate between 0.23% and 0.57% per generation from new mutations, depending on the geneti...
متن کاملResponse to alternative genetic-economic indices for Holsteins across 2 generations.
Four US genetic-economic indices for dairy cattle were retrofitted to illustrate differences in phenotypic response observed for retrospective selection over 2 generations for currently evaluated traits, even though producers did not have evaluations available at the time for direct selection for those traits. Differences among cows were compared based on ranking of their sires and maternal gra...
متن کاملPrediction of genetic contributions and generation intervals in populations with overlapping generations under selection.
A method to predict long-term genetic contributions of ancestors to future generations is studied in detail for a population with overlapping generations under mass or sib index selection. An existing method provides insight into the mechanisms determining the flow of genes through selected populations, and takes account of selection by modeling the long-term genetic contribution as a linear re...
متن کاملAlternative methods of selection for litter size in mice: III. Response to 21 generations of selection.
Alternative methods of selection to increase litter size in mice have been practiced for 21 generations followed by six generations of relaxed selection. Three replicates were used with four selection criteria: index of components (IX:I = 1.21 x total ovulation rate + 9.05 x ova success), uterine capacity (UT), litter size (LS), and an unselected control (LC). In IX, ovulation rate and ova succ...
متن کاملMinimizing inbreeding by managing genetic contributions across generations.
Here we present the strategy that achieves the lowest possible rate of inbreeding (DeltaF) for a population with unequal numbers of sires and dams with random mating. This new strategy results in a DeltaF as much as 10% lower than previously achieved. A simple and efficient approach to reducing inbreeding in small populations with sexes of unequal census number is to impose a breeding structure...
