Preservation of Genetic Variation in a Breeding Population for Long-Term Genetic Gain. [PDF]
G3 (Bethesda), 2020 Abstract Genomic selection has been successfully implemented in plant and animal breeding. The transition of parental selection based on phenotypic characteristics to genomic selection (GS) has reduced breeding time and cost while accelerating the rate of genetic progression. Although breeding methods have been adapted to include genomic

Selection on Expected Maximum Haploid Breeding Values Can Increase Genetic Gain in Recurrent Genomic Selection [PDF]
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018 Genomic selection (GS) offers the possibility to estimate the effects of genome-wide molecular markers, which can be used to calculate genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs) for individuals without phenotypes.

The impact of genomic selection on genetic diversity and genetic gain in three French dairy cattle breeds. [PDF]
Genet Sel Evol, 2019 In France, implementation of genomic evaluations in dairy cattle breeds started in 2009 and this has modified the breeding schemes drastically. In this context, the goal of our study was to understand the impact of genomic selection on the genetic ...

Enhancing genetic gain in the era of molecular breeding
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2017 As one of the important concepts in conventional quantitative genetics and breeding, genetic gain can be defined as the amount of increase in performance that is achieved annually through artificial selection. To develop pro ducts that meet the increasing demand of mankind, especially for food and feed, in addition to various industrial uses, breeders ...
