Biodiversity and Human Values

17.2K
Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

21.9K
Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

Professional Values

11.0K
Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

Critical Values01:31

Critical Values

10.4K
A critical value is a definite value obtained from a particular probability distribution at a predecided confidence level (or a predecided significance level) for a given population parameter. The critical value provides demarcation that separates the sample statistics that are likely to occur from the ones that are unlikely to occur based on the given probability distribution and the population parameter to be estimated. The critical value for normal distribution is obtained from the z...

z Scores and Unusual Values01:07

z Scores and Unusual Values

11.1K
The z score is one of the three measures of relative standing. It describes the location of a value in a dataset relative to the mean. z scores are obtained after the standardization of the values in a dataset. The z score for the mean is 0.
 This score indicates how far a value is from the mean in terms of standard deviation. For example, if a data value has a z score of +1, the researcher can infer that the particular data value is one standard deviation above the mean. If another data...

Absolute and Local Extreme Values01:22

Absolute and Local Extreme Values

91
The highest and lowest values of a function, relative to a reference axis, are known as extreme values. These include absolute maximum and absolute minimum values, which represent the highest and lowest points the function reaches across its entire domain. Within a restricted portion of the function, the highest and lowest values are referred to as local maximum and local minimum values, respectively.Periodic functions, such as sine and cosine, show extreme values at infinitely many points due...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Optimizing breeding programs requires balancing genetic gain and diversity. Combining strategies like optimum contribution selection and allele frequency weighting significantly boosts long-term genetic gain while reducing inbreeding rates.

Area of Science:

  • Animal breeding and genetics
  • Quantitative genetics
  • Population genetics

Background:

  • Traditional selection maximizes short-term genetic gain using estimated breeding values (EBV).
  • Long-term genetic gain and diversity maintenance require more complex strategies.
  • This study compares selection strategies using the MoBPS simulation software.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare existing and novel selection strategies for long-term genetic gain and diversity.
  • To evaluate the impact of different genetic diversity management techniques.
  • To identify optimal combinations of strategies for breeding programs.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the MoBPS simulation software for a unified testing pipeline.
  • Compared truncation selection based on EBV with allele frequency weighting.
  • Incorporated average kinship into the selection index.
  • Employed evolutionary algorithms to optimize weights for combined strategies.

Main Results:

  • Weighting SNP effects by allele frequency increased long-term gain by 1.6% and reduced inbreeding by 16.2%, with short-term losses.
  • Including average kinship in the selection index yielded 4.3% greater long-term gain and 15.8% less inbreeding without short-term losses.
  • A combined strategy (optimum contribution selection, allele frequency weighting, average kinship, avoiding related matings, lower selection proportion) achieved 5.1% greater gain and 37.3% lower inbreeding.

Conclusions:

  • Combined strategies for genetic diversity management significantly outperform single methods.
  • Implementing these strategies does not necessitate short-term genetic gain losses.
  • Integrating diversity management is crucial for the long-term success of breeding companies.
