    Notes: Summary Selection for a character controlled by additive genes induces linkage disequilibrium which reduces the additive genetic variance usable for further selective gains. Additive x additive epistasis contributes to selection response through development of linkage disequilibrium between interacting loci. To investigate the relative importance of the two effects of linkage disequilibrium, formulae are presented and results are reported of simulations using models involving additive, additive x additive and dominance components. The results suggest that so long as epistatic effects are not large relative to additive effects, and the proportion of pairs of loci which show epistasis is not very high, the predominant effect of linkage disequilibrium will be to reduce the rate of selection response.

    Optimising two-stage independent culling selection in tree and animal breeding (1981)
    Springer
    Theoretical and applied genetics 59 (1981), S. 67-72 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-2242
    Keywords: Two-stage selection ; Genetic response ; Independent culling
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary Theory is given for a simple practical method of predicting gain from two-stage independent culling, where stage 1 of selection is for individual performance and stage 2 is for either progeny performance only, or an index combining individual and progeny performance. Expected gain is determined as a direct function of heritabilities, genetic correlations, selection intensities and progeny-testing capacity. Results show the effect these parameters can have on proportions selected at each stage and, if multiple selection criteria are used, traits selected for first. Methods are discussed in the context of tree and animal breeding, with an example taken from forestry.
