Plant breeding largely depends on phenotypic selection in plots and only for some, often
disease-resistance-related traits, uses genetic markers. The more recently developed …

Genomic selection is a promising development in agriculture, aiming improved production
by exploiting molecular genetic markers to design novel breeding programs and to develop …

The present study is a transversal analysis of the interest in genomic selection for plant and
animal species. It focuses on the arguments that may convince breeders to switch to …

Genomic selection (GS) has created a lot of excitement and expectations in the animal‐and
plant‐breeding research communities. In this review, we briefly describe how genomic …

Major paradigm shift in plant breeding since the availability of molecular marker technology
is that mapping and characterizing the genetic loci that control a trait will lead to improved …

The past decade has seen a tremendous shift toward using next-generation sequencing
(NGS) technologies for development of powerful tools to identify underlying genes for both …

The aim of this work was to review the main challenges and pitfalls of the implementation of
genomic selection in the breeding programs of different livestock species. Genomic …

World demand for livestock products is likely to increase in coming decades but the cost of
production could escalate faster than the price due to competition for land, water, grain and …

Genomic evaluation has been successfully implemented in the United States, Canada,
Great Britain, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, France, the Netherlands, Germany, and the …

Contents Technical advances and development in the market for genomic tools have
facilitated access to whole‐genome data across species. Building‐up on the acquired …
