The paper models the impacts of imports and hybridisation in honeybees, finding that increased imports accelerate introgression and reduce fitness, with spatial spread and slow purging of introgressed material.

This paper introduces a TBLUP method using local DNA trees to estimate haplotype and mutation effects, showing improved accuracy and efficiency compared to traditional SNP-based approaches.

This study uses ancestral recombination graphs to improve quantitative genetic analysis of rice yield in indica and japonica subspecies, showing better predictive ability when combining both subspecies.

The paper simulates honeybee populations to compare genetic relatedness estimators and highlights methodological considerations for interpreting relatedness coefficients.

This study simulates the long-term effects of genomic selection on genetic mean and variance in layer chicken breeding programs, finding that optimal contribution selection balances genetic gain and variance loss best.

The paper expands the stdpopsim species catalog and improves genome simulations by adding non-crossover recombination and species-specific annotations, making simulations more realistic for non-model organisms.

SIMplyBee simulates honeybee populations and breeding programs, enabling testing of strategies for genetic gain and variability.

This study simulates the impact of importing genetic material on small cattle breeding programs, finding that benefits depend on genetic correlation, import extent, and breeding scheme.

The paper introduces a method to partition genetic mean and variance contributions in breeding programs to better understand selection paths and optimize breeding strategies.

AlphaPart partitions genetic trends to identify sources of genetic gain in breeding programs using a simulated pig example.

This study shows that dairy breeding programs can maximize genetic gain by reallocating resources from phenotyping to genotyping, without increasing overall investment.

This paper simulates genomic selection strategies in a small dairy population to evaluate their impact on genetic gain, variation, and sustainability.
