Selection History Models in a Population under Ongoing Directional Selection

This study evaluates two models, BayesS and [G], for detecting selection history in animal breeding, showing their effectiveness varies with heritability and data characteristics.

The long-term effects of genomic selection: 2. Changes in allele frequencies of causal loci and new mutations

This study examines how genomic selection affects allele frequencies and new mutations over fifty generations, finding that genomic selection leads to faster and larger changes in allele frequencies compared to pedigree selection.

The long-term effects of genomic selection: Response to selection, additive genetic variance and genetic architecture

This study simulates the long-term effects of genomic selection on genetic architecture, showing that non-additive effects significantly impact genetic variance and allele frequency changes over generations.

The Correlation Of Substitution Effects Across Populations And Generations In The Presence Of Non-Additive Functional Gene Action

The paper develops a method to model substitution effect correlations across populations and generations considering non-additive gene action, using variance components and genetic distances.

Required marker properties for unbiased estimates of the genetic correlation between populations

The paper investigates how marker allele frequencies and linkage disequilibrium affect estimates of genetic correlation between populations, finding that marker allele frequencies should reflect causal loci frequencies for unbiased estimates.

Properties Of Genomic Relationships For Estimating Current Genetic Variances Within And Genetic Correlations Between Populations

This paper defines a multi-population genomic relationship matrix to estimate current genetic variances within populations and genetic correlations between populations, and validates its properties through simulations.
