The use of genomic coancestry matrices in the optimisation of contributions to maintain genetic diversity at specific regions of the genome

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Fernando Gómez-Romano from the This study confirms that the use of genomic coancestry in the optimisation of contributions is substantially more efficient in maintaining genetic diversity than the use of pedigree coancestryMoreover, the use of genomic coancestry permits the targeting of specific genomic regions to minimise the loss of genetic diversity and the extension of the optimisation procedure to include restrictions for additional regions. This study also highlighted the need to refine the theory of genetic contributions using realised genomic relationship matrices in order to ensure that optimal contribution methods properly manage the genetic . . .
