Two novel methods optimize selection response by balancing quantitative trait loci (QTL) weights and individual contributions, outperforming traditional gene-assisted selection (GAS). These approaches enhance genetic gain while managing inbreeding rates effectively.

Area of Science:

  • Animal breeding and genetics
  • Quantitative genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Optimizing selection response is crucial in animal breeding.
  • Gene-assisted selection (GAS) provides a baseline for comparison.
  • Balancing genetic gain and inbreeding is a key challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and compare two novel methods (Scheme A and Scheme B) for optimizing selection.
  • To maximize selection response while constraining inbreeding rate.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of optimizing quantitative trait loci (QTL) weights and individual contributions.

Main Methods:

  • Scheme A: Simultaneous optimization of QTL weights and individual contributions using a genetic algorithm and stochastic simulation.
  • Scheme B: Genetic algorithm for QTL weights and optimal contribution (OC) algorithm for individual contributions.

  • Fitness evaluation based on the accumulative discounted sum of genetic means over generations.

    • Main Results:

    • Schemes A and B improved the discounted sum of genetic value by 15.88% and 22.26% compared to GAS, respectively.
    • Optimizing individual contributions accounted for approximately 78% of the genetic gain increase in Scheme B.
    • QTL weight optimization mitigated long-term genetic loss observed in GAS (around 22%).

    Conclusions:

    • Both developed schemes offer significant improvements over traditional GAS.
    • Optimizing individual contributions is a primary driver of enhanced genetic gain.
    • QTL weight optimization plays a vital role in preventing long-term genetic decline.
