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

The genomic prediction of phenotypes and breeding values in animals and plants has
developed rapidly into its own research field. Results of genomic prediction studies are often …

Genomic evaluation methods assume that the reference population is genotyped and
phenotyped. This is most often false and the generation of pseudo-phenotypes is uncertain …

Background Genomic selection or genome-wide selection (GS) has been highlighted as a
new approach for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in recent years. GS is a form of MAS that …

Background To obtain predictions that are not biased by selection, the conditional mean of
the breeding values must be computed given the data that were used for selection. When …

Background Genome editing (GE) is a method that enables specific nucleotides in the
genome of an individual to be changed. To date, use of GE in livestock has focussed on …

Key message Impacts of population structure on the evaluation of genomic heritability and
prediction were investigated and quantified using high-density markers in diverse panels in …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) breeders consider a large number of traits during cultivar
development and progress in conventional breeding can be slow. There is accumulating …

Background Genomic predictions can be applied early in life without impacting selection
candidates. This is especially useful for meat quality traits in sheep. Carcass and novel meat …

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 …
