The world demand for animal-based food products is anticipated to increase by 70% by
2050. Meeting this demand in a way that has a minimal impact on the environment will …

The 1000 Bull Genomes Project is a collection of whole-genome sequences from 2,703
individuals capturing a significant proportion of the world's cattle diversity. So far, 84 million …

Background Millions of genetic variants have been identified by population-scale
sequencing projects, but subsets of these variants are needed for routine genomic …

Background For genomic selection in populations with a small reference population,
combining populations of the same breed or populations of related breeds is an effective …

Background Early simulations indicated that whole-genome sequence data (WGS) could
improve the accuracy of genomic predictions within and across breeds. However, empirical …

Background Whole-genome sequence data is expected to capture genetic variation more
completely than common genotyping panels. Our objective was to compare the proportion of …

Through imputation of genotypes, genome‐wide association study (GWAS) and genomic
prediction (GP) using whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) data are cost‐efficient and feasible …

Background Genomic prediction (GP) across breeds has so far resulted in low accuracies of
the predicted genomic breeding values. Our objective was to evaluate whether using whole …

Background Whole-genome sequence (WGS) data could contain information on genetic
variants at or in high linkage disequilibrium with causative mutations that underlie the …

Background Increasing marker density was proposed to have potential to improve the
accuracy of genomic prediction for quantitative traits; whole-sequence data is expected to …
