Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are the most frequently used probiotics in fermented foods and
beverages and as food supplements for humans or animals, owing to their multiple …

The prevalence of obesity, diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and related metabolic
disorders has been steadily increasing in the past few decades. Apart from the …

For most human complex diseases and traits, SNPs identified by genome-wide association
studies (GWAS) explain only a small fraction of the heritability. Here we report a user-friendly …

A common problem for genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) is lack of power for
detection of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and precision for fine mapping. Here, we present a …

Genomic evaluation methods assume that the reference population is genotyped and
phenotyped. This is most often false and the generation of pseudo-phenotypes is uncertain …

Background Genomic prediction of breeding values involves a so-called training analysis
that predicts the influence of small genomic regions by regression of observed information …

Non-additive genetic variation is usually ignored when genome-wide markers are used to
study the genetic architecture and genomic prediction of complex traits in human, wild life …

Estimated breeding values (EBVs) using data from genetic markers can be predicted using a
genomic relationship matrix, derived from animal's genotypes, and best linear unbiased …

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 …

Utilizing the whole genomic variation of complex traits to predict the yet-to-be observed
phenotypes or unobserved genetic values via whole genome prediction (WGP) and to infer …
