MAS schemes were compared with schemes where selection is directly on the QTL GAS or gene assisted selection and with schemes where genotype information is not considered PHE or phenotypic selection . A methodology for including prior information on the QTL effect in the genetic evaluation is presented and the benefits from MAS were investigated when prior information was used. The optimisation of the genetic contributions has a great impact on genetic response but the use of markers leads to only moderate extra short-term gains. Optimised PHE did as well as standard truncation GAS . with fixed contributions in the short-term and better in the long-term. The maximum accumulated benefit from MAS over PHE was at the most half of the maximum benefit achieved from GAS even with very low recombination rates between the markers and the QTL. However the use of prior information about the QTL effects can substantially increase genetic gain and when the accuracy of the priors is high enough the responses from MAS are practically as high as those obtained with direct selection on the QTL. marker assisted selection gene assisted selection optimised selection BLUP selection restricted inbreeding 1.
