Last month we discussed the strategy of inbreeding. This time we’ll go over the flip side and talk about outcrossing and its use in breeding Thoroughbreds. If the definition of an inbred horse is one ...

The genetic downside to purebred dog breeding
Quick Take Dog breeding genetics explain how dominant, additive, and recessive genes shape traits and disease risk in litters ...
Flowers of both types retain these respective stigma positions until about midday, when the stigma of the hyperflexistyle form elongates and becomes erect above the anther (male phase). This movement ...
The evolution of breeding systems results from the existence of genetic variation and selective forces favoring different outcrossing rates. In this study we determine the extent of genetic variation ...
Selecting leading proven terminal sires has resulted in lambs that finished 30 days faster on average for a Yorkshire sheep breeder. George Fell, who runs a flock of 500 Meatlinc and 300 Lleyn cross ...
The effect of mating system on genetic diversity is a major theme in plant evolutionary genetics, because gene flow plays a large role in structuring the genetic variability within and among ...
