Inbreeding in artificial selection programmes

Open access
ROBERTSON, ALAN·2007·Genetics Research

Abstract

In a population under artificial selection, the effective population size may be less than the actual number of parents selected because there will be variation between families in the character under selection and consequently in the probability of selection. Expressions are developed for the magnitude of the effect, which will be greater the more intense the selection and the higher the heritability of the selected character. The inbreeding due to outstanding individuals may rise for several generations after their use.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
