Aquaculture is the fastest-growing farmed food sector and will soon become the primary
source of fish and shellfish for human diets. In contrast to crop and livestock production …

Association analysis is used to measure relations between markers and quantitative trait loci
(QTL). Their estimation ignores genes with small effects that trigger underpinning …

The overfitting phenomenon happens when a statistical machine learning model learns very
well about the noise as well as the signal that is present in the training data. On the other …

The success of genome-wide association studies (GWASs) has led to increasing interest in
making predictions of complex trait phenotypes, including disease, from genotype data …

Genomic-enabled prediction is becoming increasingly important in animal and plant
breeding and is also receiving attention in human genetics. Deriving accurate predictions of …

To address the multiple challenges to food security posed by global climate change,
population growth and rising incomes, plant breeders are developing new crop varieties that …

Intercropping is both a well-established and yet novel agricultural practice, depending on
one's perspective. Such perspectives are principally governed by geographic location and …

Although long-term genetic gain has been achieved through increasing use of modern
breeding methods and technologies, the rate of genetic gain needs to be accelerated to …

Our agricultural systems are now in urgent need to secure food for a growing world
population. To meet this challenge, we need a better characterization of plant genetic and …
