Exploiting genomic knowledge in optimising molecular breeding programmes: algorithms from evolutionary computing.

Comparatively few studies have addressed directly the question of quantifying the benefits to be had from using molecular genetic markers in experimental breeding programmes (e.g. for improved crops and livestock), nor the question of which organisms should be mated with each other to best effect.
