There are two main linear marker selection indices employed in marker-assisted selection
(MAS) to predict the net genetic merit and to select individual candidates as parents for the …

The linear genomic selection index (LGSI) is a linear combination of genomic estimated
breeding values (GEBVs) used to predict the individual net genetic merit and select …

A linear selection index (LSI) can be a linear combination of phenotypic values, marker
scores, and genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs); phenotypic values and marker …

This open access book focuses on the linear selection index (LSI) theory and its statistical
properties. It addresses the single-stage LSI theory by assuming that economic weights are …

A combined multistage linear genomic selection index (CMLGSI) is a linear combination of
phenotypic and genomic estimated breeding values useful for predicting the individual net …

Genomic selection (GS) is a method to predict the genetic value of selection candidates
based on the genomic estimated breeding value (GEBV) predicted from high-density …

Background Genomic selection or genome-wide selection (GS) has been highlighted as a
new approach for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in recent years. GS is a form of MAS that …

The linear phenotypic selection index (LPSI), the null restricted LPSI (RLPSI), and the
predetermined proportional gains LPSI (PPG-LPSI) are the main phenotypic selection …

The constrained linear genomic selection index (CLGSI) is a linear combination of genomic
estimated breeding values useful for predicting the net genetic merit, which in turn is a linear …

Marker-assisted selection (MAS) exploits the markers associated with traits of interest for
selecting lines with superior alleles for developing improved lines. However use of MAS is …
