Best Linear Unbiased Prediction of Genomic Breeding Values Using a Trait-Specific Marker-Derived Relationship Matrix [PDF]

, 2010
Background: With the availability of high density whole-genome single nucleotide polymorphism chips, genomic selection has become a promising method to estimate genetic merit with potentially high accuracy for animal, plant and aquaculture species of ...

Prediction of haplotypes for ungenotyped animals and its effect on marker-assisted breeding value estimation [PDF]

, 2010
Background: In livestock populations, missing genotypes on a large proportion of animals are a major problem to implement the estimation of marker-assisted breeding values using haplotypes.

Comparison of analyses of the QTLMAS XIV common dataset. I: genomic selection [PDF]

, 2011
Background - For the XIV QTLMAS workshop, a dataset for traits with complex genetic architecture has been simulated and released for analyses by participants. One of the tasks was to estimate direct genomic values for individuals without phenotypes.

Prediction of genetic gain from quadratic optimisation with constrained rates of inbreeding [PDF]

, 2006
There are selection methods available that allow the optimisation of genetic contributions of selection candidates for maximising the rate of genetic gain while restricting the rate of inbreeding. These methods imply selection on quadratic indices as the

Genomic selection needs to be carefully assessed to meet specific requirements in livestock breeding programs

Frontiers in Genetics, 2015
Genomic selection is a promising development in agriculture, aiming improved production by exploiting molecular genetic markers to design novel breeding programs and to develop new markers-based models for genetic evaluation.

The genome-wide analysis identified significant genomic loci explaining genetic variance for body conformation in Hanwoo (Korean cattle) cows

Journal of Applied Animal Research
Genomic data and objective traits (body conformation, growth and carcass features) could increase efficiency in cow selection. GWAS on carcass traits of Hanwoo cattle have been published; however, only a few studies are about body conformation traits ...
