CA 2673174

The present invention provides methods for estimating the breeding value of individuals in populations such as those having small effective population size (Ne) e.g., to identify selection candidates having high breeding values, wherein the methods comprise inferring one or more genotypes for one or more markers at a locus or QTL to be the same as for an ancestor or founder or a subset of ancestors and/or founders from which a corresponding chromosome segment is derived and estimating the breeding value of the individual based on the inferred genotype(s).

La présente invention concerne des procédés pour estimer la valeur reproductive d'individus dans des populations telles que celles ayant une faible taille effective (Ne) de population, par exemple, pour identifier des candidats de sélection ayant des valeurs reproductives élevées. Ces procédés comprennent les opérations consistant à déduire les un ou plusieurs génotypes pour un ou plusieurs marqueurs à un locus ou QTL devant être le même que pour un ancêtre ou auteur ou un sous-ensemble d'ancêtres et/ou auteurs à partir duquel un segment chromosomique correspondant est issu, et à estimer la valeur reproductive de l'individu sur la base du ou des génotypes déduits.
