Genomic selection (GS) is the use of statistical methods to estimate the genetic merit of a
genotyped animal based on prediction equations derived from large ancestral populations …

The principles of genomic selection are described, with the main factors affecting its
efficiency and the assumptions underlying the different models proposed. The reasons of its …

The success of Genome Wide Association Studies in the discovery of sequence variation
linked to complex traits in humans has increased interest in high throughput SNP …

High-throughput genotyping methods have increased the analytical power to study complex
traits but high cost has remained a barrier for large scale use in animal improvement. We …

Background Genome wide association studies (GWAS) on residual feed intake (RFI) and its
component traits including daily dry matter intake (DMI), average daily gain (ADG), and …

This study investigated the effect on the reliability of genomic prediction when a small
number of significant variants from single marker analysis based on whole genome …

Genomic evaluations for 161,341 Holsteins were computed by using 311,725 of 777,962
markers on the Illumina BovineHD Genotyping BeadChip (HD). Initial edits with 1,741 HD …

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), genotyped with arrays, have become a widely
used marker type in population genetic analyses over the last 10 years. However, compared …

Simple Summary The discovery of the genome has been one of the greatest advances in the
development of tools for the genetic improvement of cattle in the last decades. The use of …

Fillet yield (FY) and harvest weight (HW) are economically important traits in Nile tilapia
production. Genetic improvement of these traits, especially for FY, are lacking, due to the …
