Scientific Challenges to Animal Breeding and Genetics
This paper presents an overview of the history and the foreseeable developments of animal breeding. After the transition from population genetics to modern quantitative genetics, realized in the late 1950s, major progress has occurred in the field of breeding value evaluation and, more recently, with the advent of genomics and its potential contribution to genetic improvement. Various challenge...
متن کاملApplications of population genetics to animal breeding, from wright, fisher and lush to genomic prediction.
Although animal breeding was practiced long before the science of genetics and the relevant disciplines of population and quantitative genetics were known, breeding programs have mainly relied on simply selecting and mating the best individuals on their own or relatives' performance. This is based on sound quantitative genetic principles, developed and expounded by Lush, who attributed much of ...
متن کاملThe impact of genetics on animal breeding.
I F we would know how genetic knowledge is changing animal breeding practices or is likely soon to change them, we can probably get our best clues by asking what the animal breeders are studying now. Predictions made on this basis will not be wholly accurate, of course. The "endless frontier" nature of science precludes high accuracy in any method of predicting the future, especially the distan...
متن کاملPatenting of Genetic Innovations in Animal Breeding and Genetics
While herdsmen have practiced the art of animal breeding since the beginning of domestication of livestock, the science of animal breeding is just now entering its second century. From its roots in Mendelian inheritance to the developments in quantitative genetics our field has grown to include modem molecular sciences. The practical applications of the field have been to genetically improve th...
متن کاملBreeding and Genetics SOME CURRENT ISSUES IN POPULATION GENETICS IN RELATION T O SUGARCANE BREEDING A
Four topics in modern population biology, namely, genetic architecture, stability, diversity and allozyme flexibility, are discussed in relation to sugarcane breeding. It is argued that research on the following points is likely to improve sugarcane breeding: 1) Repeated cycles of intercrossing and selection of different modes can be specifically designed to elucidate the genetic architecture o...
