In the last decade the breeding technology referred to as 'genomic selection'(GS) has been
implemented in a variety of species, with particular success in animal breeding. Recent …

The genomic prediction of phenotypes and breeding values in animals and plants has
developed rapidly into its own research field. Results of genomic prediction studies are often …

In this study, we investigated the effect of five feature selection approaches on the
performance of a mixed model (G-BLUP) and a Bayesian (Bayes C) prediction method. We …

Genomic selection (GS) uses genome‐wide molecular marker data to predict the genetic
value of selection candidates in breeding programs. In plant breeding, the ability to produce …

Background Sea lice have significant negative economic and welfare impacts on marine
Atlantic salmon farming. Since host resistance to sea lice has a substantial genetic …

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 …

Accuracy of genomic selection depends on the accuracy of prediction of single nucleotide
polymorphism effects and the proportion of genetic variance explained by markers. Design …

Woody perennial plants, including trees that produce fruits and nuts of horticultural value,
typically have long breeding cycles, and development and introduction of improved cultivars …

Background Genomic selection has become a very important tool in animal genetics and is
rapidly emerging in plant genetics. It holds the promise to be particularly beneficial to select …

The genome sequence of apple (Malus× domestica Borkh.) was published more than a year
ago, which helped develop an 8K SNP chip to assist in implementing genomic selection …
