Phenomes: the current frontier in animal breeding. [PDF]
Genet Sel Evol, 2021 AbstractImprovements in genomic technologies have outpaced the most optimistic predictions, allowing industry-scale application of genomic selection. However, only marginal gains in genetic prediction accuracy can now be expected by increasing marker density up to sequence, unless causative mutations are identified.

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, 2018 ContentsEthical breeding involves the use of healthy animals true to their species in behaviour and physical appearance, and when applicable, showing a sustainable performance. The concerns for the species/breed are essential parts of the breeding goals, including preservation of genetic resources within the species/breed, and the health and welfare of

Precision animal breeding [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2007 We accept that we are responsible for the quality of life of animals in our care. We accept that the activities of man affect all the living things with which we share this planet. But we are slow to realize that as a result we have a duty of care for all living things. That duty extends to the breeding of animals for which we are responsible.

International single-step SNPBLUP beef cattle evaluations for Limousin weaning weight
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2022 Background Compared to national evaluations, international collaboration projects further improve accuracies of estimated breeding values (EBV) by building larger reference populations or performing a joint evaluation using data (or proxy of them) from ...
