ARTIFICIAL SELECTION METHOD IN A NONHUMAN PLANT OR ANIMAL POPULATION THAT HAS A SMALL EFFECTIVE POPULATION SIZE LESS THAN 1000 INDIVIDUALS, HOME USE, PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF GENETIC GAIN IN A POPULATION, AND ARTIFIC SELECTION METHOD

摘要

artificial selection method in a non-human plant or animal population having a small effective population size of less than 1000 individuals, use of the method, process for producing genetic gain in a population, and artificial selection method in livestock the present invention provides methods for estimating the genetic value of individuals in populations such as those with small effective population size (ns), for example for identifying selection candidates with high genetic values, where the methods comprise the inference that one or more genotypes for one or more markers on a locus or qtl are the same as those of an ancestor or founder or a subset of ancestors and / or founders from which a corresponding chromosomal segment is derived, and estimating the value of the individual based on the inferred genotype (s).
