A simulation study of the effect of connectedness on genetic trend.docVIP

A simulation study of the effect Station de génétique quantitative et appliquée, Institut national de la recherche agronomique, 78352 Jouy-en-Josas cedex, France was simulated with four subpopulations over seven A link sires were used across populations to estimate the genetic level of each subpopulation. The male replacement policy allowed some gene flow across subpopulations. Without any connection between subpopulations, the genetic differences between subpopulations were not estimable and the overall genetic trend was limited. With few connections (proportion A Résumé - étude par géné
