Marker-based inferences about epistasis for genes influencing inbreeding depression.
We describe a multilocus, marker-based regression method for inferring interactions between genes controlling inbreeding depression in self-fertile organisms. It is based upon selfing a parent heterozygous for several unlinked codominant markers, then analyzing the fitness of progeny marker genotypes. If loci causing inbreeding depression are linked to marker loci, then viability selection is m...
متن کاملInbreeding and Inbreeding Depression on Body Weight in Iranian Shal Sheep
The aim of this study was to estimate amount of inbreeding coefficient in Shal sheep and its impact on growth performance. Pedigree information and body weight at different ages (birth weight, 3 month weight, 6 month weight, 9 month weight and 12 month weight) were used from 6692 lambs from 90 rams and 1007 ewes. Data were collected on Ghazvin sheep breeding station during 1997-2013. Estimation...
متن کاملThe effect of inbreeding rate on fitness, inbreeding depression and heterosis over a range of inbreeding coefficients
Understanding the effects of inbreeding and genetic drift within populations and hybridization between genetically differentiated populations is important for many basic and applied questions in ecology and evolutionary biology. The magnitudes and even the directions of these effects can be influenced by various factors, especially by the current and historical population size (i.e. inbreeding ...
متن کاملGene-expression changes caused by inbreeding protect against inbreeding depression in Drosophila.
We present a transcriptomic analysis aimed at investigating whether the changes in gene expression that occur under inbreeding generally reduce or enhance inbreeding depression. Discerning between these two alternatives can be addressed only when both changes in expression due to inbreeding and to inbreeding depression are estimated simultaneously. We used Affymetrix 2.0 arrays to study the cha...
متن کاملInbreeding and inbreeding depression in endangered red wolves (Canis rufus).
In natural populations, the expression and severity of inbreeding depression can vary widely across taxa. Describing processes that influence the extent of inbreeding and inbreeding depression aid in our understanding of the evolutionary history of mating systems such as cooperative breeding and nonrandom mate selection. Such findings also help shape wildlife conservation theory because inbreed...
