Predicted Residual Error Sum of Squares of Mixed Models: An Application for Genomic Prediction. [PDF]

, 2017
Genomic prediction is a statistical method to predict phenotypes of polygenic traits using high-throughput genomic data. Most diseases and behaviors in humans and animals are polygenic traits. The majority of agronomic traits in crops are also polygenic.

Identification and genomic location of resistance to bacterial leaf streak of barley. [PDF]

Plant Genome
Abstract The bacterial leaf streak (BLS) disease of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), caused by Xanthomonas translucens pv. translucens (Xtt), has become increasingly important worldwide in recent years. Inefficacy of chemical control methods leaves deployment of host resistance to be the only option to manage this disease.
