Other claims from this paper (6)
- Method / resource COMA maintained a target inbreeding rate of 0.5% under simulation using pedigree or genomic IBD kinship.
- Method / resource Significantly more genetic gain was realized with pedigree kinship than with genomic IBD kinship.
- Method / resource OMA gave higher accuracy (+0.2-0.3) than OCS when predicting mate performance.
- Method / resource OMA gave little long-term gain advantage over OCS.
- Method / resource The sparse COMA mating design and flexible mating constraints offer practical incentives over OCS.
- Method / resource The optimal solution at 0.5% inbreeding involved 43 parents in the potato case study.
