An increase in the rate of crop improvement is essential for achieving sustained food
production and other needs of ever-increasing population. Genomic selection (GS) is a …

Although long-term genetic gain has been achieved through increasing use of modern
breeding methods and technologies, the rate of genetic gain needs to be accelerated to …

Despite important strides in marker technologies, the use of marker‐assisted selection has
stagnated for the improvement of quantitative traits. Biparental mating designs for the …

Main conclusion Genomic selection and its importance in crop breeding. Integration of GS
with new breeding tools and developing SOP for GS to achieve maximum genetic gain with …

Key message Genomic prediction based on additive genetic effects can accelerate genetic
gain. There are opportunities for further improvement by including non-additive effects that …

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 …

Genomic selection (GS) is a promising approach exploiting molecular genetic markers to
design novel breeding programs and to develop new markers-based models for genetic …

Simulation and empirical studies of genomic selection (GS) show accuracies sufficient to
generate rapid genetic gains. However, with the increased popularity of GS approaches …

Genomic selection (GS) is a predictive approach that was built up to increase the rate of
genetic gain per unit of time and reduce the generation interval by utilizing genome-wide …

With marker and phenotype information from observed populations, genomic selection (GS)
can be used to establish associations between markers and phenotypes. It aims to use …
