English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
  • Animal Breeding
  • Plant Breeding
DEF

... the amount of increase in performance that is achieved annually through artificial selection.

CONT

... we saw that with genomics, there has been twice the amount of genetic gain realized for [protein] yield in terms of standard units.... we can see that the combined gain for [protein] yield during the five years prior to genomics was 11. 8 kg, or around 2. 4 kg per year. In the past five years with genomics, the combined gain was 24 kg, or 4. 8 kg per year. This means that females born in the last 5 years in a herd with average management are expected to have 305 day lactation yields that increase roughly 5 kg per year, on average. In this case, double the genetic gain translates into double the performance increase for protein yield.

  • Génétique
  • Amélioration génétique des animaux
  • Amélioration végétale
CONT

[...] nous observons qu'avec la génomique, le gain génétique réalisé pour le rendement en protéine exprimé en unités standard a doublé. [...] nous pouvons voir que le gain combiné pour le rendement en protéine pendant les cinq ans précédant la génomique était de 11,8 kg ou d'environ 2,4 kg par année. Cela signifie que les femelles nées au cours des cinq dernières années dans un troupeau doté d'une gestion moyenne devraient afficher des rendements en lait de 305 jours qui augmentent d'environ 5 kg par année, en moyenne. Dans ce cas, le double du gain génétique entraîne le double de l'augmentation de la performance en matière de rendement en protéine.

For instance, the Acting Vice Chief of the Air Staff... not only saw "considerable merit" in the submarines, but also furthered the navy's case by observing that SACLANT [Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic] was placing greater emphasis on pairing submarines up with aircraft for anti-submarine barrier operations.

OBS

The Oshawa Railway Company was born in 1895, and effectively died on May 2, 1964 when the line was 100% dieselized by the CNR, however, power was not shut off until July 2, 1964. The OR was built, as most railways were, to provide both freight and passenger service. In the case of the OR, its operation was confined to the City of Oshawa even though they operated a number of passenger cars that would have been more suited to interurban operation. The main passenger line ran in a north-south direction on Simcoe Street, from Ross’ Corners down to Lakeview Park on the shores of Lake Ontario. When passenger service ended in 1940, several cars were re-distributed among other Canadian National Electric Railway lines where they saw many more years of use.
