Understanding the relationship between genetic variations and variations in complex and
quantitative phenotypes remains an ongoing challenge. While Genome-wide association …

Gao et al. propose several approaches to incorporate gene annotation into genomic
prediction and evaluate these new methods on populations..... Today, genomic prediction …

Background Genomic selection and estimation of genomic breeding values (GBV) are
widely used in cattle and plant breeding. Several studies have attempted to detect …

Functional dependencies between genes are a defining characteristic of gene networks
underlying quantitative traits. However, recent studies show that the proportion of the genetic …

A genome-wide association study (GWAS) is used to identify genetic markers associated
with phenotypic variation. In contrast, a transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) …

Inferring trait networks from a large volume of genetically correlated diverse phenotypes
such as yield, architecture, and disease resistance can provide information on the manner in …

Private and public breeding programs, as well as companies and universities, have
developed different genomics technologies that have resulted in the generation of …

Abstract Models for genome-wide prediction and association studies usually target a single
phenotypic trait. However, in animal and plant genetics it is common to record information on …

The premise that is explored in this paper is that in some cases, in order to make progress in
the design of molecular breeding strategies for complex traits, we will need a theoretical …

There is growing evidence that much more of the genome than previously thought is
required to explain the heritability of complex phenotypes. Recent studies have …
