Since its introduction in 2001, genomic selection (GS) has progressed rapidly. As a research
and application hot topic, GS has led to a revolution in the field of animal and plant breeding …

Genomic selection increases accuracy and decreases generation interval, accelerating
genetic changes in populations. Assumptions of genetic improvement must be addressed to …

Simple Summary With conventional breeding practices, even the best dairy/beef cows will
likely produce no more than half-a-dozen calves in their lifetimes; a crime, would you not …

Background It has been challenging to implement genomic selection in multi-breed tropical
beef cattle populations. If commercial (often crossbred) animals could be used in the …

Selection decisions are generally based on estimated breeding values (EBV) for a
combination of traits that are polygenic (eg milk production). However, in some cases, there …

The perennial crop intermediate wheatgrass [IWG, Thinopyrum intermedium (Host
Barkworth & DR Dewey] has been under development as a grain crop since 2011 at the …

Background Genomic selection has increased genetic gain in dairy cattle, but in some cases
it has resulted in higher inbreeding rates. Therefore, there is need for research on efficient …

The selection and breeding of good meat rabbit breeds are fundamental to their industrial
development, and genomic selection (GS) can employ genomic information to make up for …

Genomic selection (GS) has been widely used in livestock breeding. However, the long-term
impact of GS on genetic gain, as well as inbreeding levels, has not been fully explored in …

We conducted a retrospective cohort study to validate the efficacy of the Australian multitrait
fertility estimated breeding value (EBV). We did this by determining its associations with …
