[HTML][HTML] Symposium review: Possibilities in an age of genomics: The future of selection indices
JB Cole, PM VanRaden - Journal of dairy science, 2018 - Elsevier
Selective breeding has been practiced since domestication, but early breeders commonly
selected on appearance (eg, coat color) rather than performance traits (eg, milk yield). A …
