Key message Genomic prediction based on additive genetic effects can accelerate genetic
gain. There are opportunities for further improvement by including non-additive effects that …

It is increasingly important to improve our understanding of the genetic basis of local
adaptation because of its relevance to climate change, crop and animal production, and …

A main challenge in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) is to pinpoint possible causal
variants. Results from GWAS typically do not directly translate into causal variants because …

Breeding climate-resilient crops with improved levels of abiotic and biotic stress resistance
as a response to climate change presents both opportunities and challenges. Applying the …

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 …

With the development of smart devices and cloud computing, more and more public health
data can be collected from various sources and can be analyzed in an unprecedented way …

For the foreseeable future, plant breeding methodology will continue to unfold as a practical
application of the scaling of quantitative biology. These efforts to increase the effective scale …

Background Substance use disorder (SUD) remains a significant public health issue. A
greater understanding of how genes and environment interact to regulate phenotypes …

Genomic selection, enabled by whole genome prediction (WGP) methods, is revolutionizing
plant breeding. Existing WGP methods have been shown to deliver accurate predictions in …

A successful strategy for prediction of crop yield that accounts for the effects of genotype,
environment and their interactions with management will create many opportunities for …
