Abstract

A dynamic selection model was developed extending the scope of the gene flow method in deterministic prediction of genetic response over time. The method depends on truncation selection across a series of groups, such as age groups, to determine the proportion to select from each group so as to maximize genetic change. A simple example is given to illustrate the method. Extensions to the method are being studied.
