I review key results from each field, emphasising those that apply independently of the (usually unknown) relation between genotype and phenotype. The infinitesimal model provides a simple framework for predicting the response of complex traits to selection, which in biology has proved remarkably successful. This allows one to choose the schedule of population sizes and selection intensities that will maximise the response to selection, given that the total number of individuals realised, C = ∑t Nt, is constrained. This argument shows that for an additive trait (i.e., determined by the sum of effects of the genes), the optimum population size and the maximum possible response (i.e., the total change in trait mean) are both proportional to √C."}],"ec_funded":1,"oa":1,"date_published":"2013-07-01T00:00:00Z","oa_version":"Submitted Version","conference":{"start_date":"2013-07-06","end_date":"2013-07-10","location":"Amsterdam, Netherlands","name":"GECCO: Genetic and evolutionary computation conference"},"department":[{"_id":"NiBa"},{"_id":"CaGu"}],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","author":[{"id":"4880FE40-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-8548-5240","last_name":"Barton","first_name":"Nicholas H","full_name":"Barton, Nicholas H"},{"full_name":"Paixao, Tiago","orcid":"0000-0003-2361-3953","id":"2C5658E6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Paixao","first_name":"Tiago"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","date_updated":"2021-01-12T06:59:15Z","doi":"10.1145/2463372.2463568","quality_controlled":"1","_id":"2718","year":"2013","scopus_import":1,"ddc":["570"],"citation":{"short":"N.H.
