During the last ten years, the use of molecular markers, revealing polymorphism at the DNA
level, has been playing an increasing part in animal genetics studies. Amongst others, the …

Genomic selection (GS) has become a very intense field of research during recent years. GS
may be defined as the simultaneous selection for many (tens or hundreds of thousands of) …

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are DNA sequence variations that occur when a
single nucleotide: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) or guanine (G) in the genome …
