Pre-selection against a lethal recessive allele in breeding schemes with optimum-contribution selection or truncation selection

We tested the hypothesis that breeding schemes with a pre-selection step, in which carriers of a lethal recessive allele (LRA) were culled, and with optimum-contribution selection (OCS) reduce the frequency of...
