Molecular genetics can be integrated with traditional methods of artificial selection on
phenotypes by applying marker-assisted selection (MAS). We derive selection indices that …

Computer simulations were used to study the efficiency of marker-assisted selection (MAS)
based on an index combining the phenotypic value and the molecular score of individuals …

Summary “Selective genotyping” is the term used when the determination of linkage
between marker loci and quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting some particular trait is carried …

The efficiency of marker-assisted selection (MAS) based on an index incorporating both
phenotypic and molecular information is evaluated with an analytical approach that takes …

A computer model is developed that simulates Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) in a
population produced by a cross between two inbred lines. Selection is based on an index …

(i) A computer simulation study has been made of selection on two linked loci in small
populations, where both loci were assumed to have additive effects on the character under …

The cost of experiments aimed at determining linkage between marker loci and quantitative
trait loci (QTL) was investigated as a function of marker spacing and number of individuals …

Marker‐assisted selection (MAS) has been shown, in theory, to produce greater selection
gains than phenotypic selection for normally distributed quantitative traits. Theory is …

The relative efficiency of three methods of selection (index, independent culling levels and
tandem) is compared in terms of genetic gains in economic units. The comparison covers …

This paper reviews the basic theory and summarizes various modifications of the selection
index. The limitations of selection index are discussed in four parts:(1) changes of …
