Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Commercial laying hen breeding programs aim to maximize the performance of crossbred animals. However, selection is usually based on data from pure lines raised in controlled nucleus environments, which may not fully predict the yields under commercial conditions.

Haplotypes and Machine Learning Improve Genomic Prediction in Brassica napus
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Genomic selection (GS) is a crop and livestock improvement method suited for predicting complex agronomical traits, while genomic prediction (GP) is the development of GS models prior to their practical use in breeding programs. One of the challenges in GP is accounting for how complex genomic interactions, such as epistasis, affect the ...
