Genomic selection in United States dairy cattle
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 The genomic selection program for dairy cattle in the United States has doubled the rate of genetic gain. Since 2010, the average annual increase in net merit has been $85 compared to $40 during the previous 5 years.

Can we harness digital technologies and physiology to hasten genetic gain in U.S. maize breeding?
bioRxiv, 2021 Genetic gain in breeding programs depends on the predictive skill of genotype-to-phenotype algorithms and precision of phenotyping, both integrated with well-defined breeding objectives for a target population of environments (TPE).

Breeding techniques to dispense higher genetic gains
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Plant breeding techniques encompass all the processes aimed at improving the genetic characteristics of a crop. It helps in achieving desirable characteristics like resistance to diseases and pests, tolerance to environmental stresses, higher yield and improved quality of the crop.

Evolutionary computing to assemble standing genetic diversity and achieve long-term genetic gain [PDF]
The Plant Genome, 2023 ABSTRACTLoss of genetic diversity in elite crop breeding pools can severely limit long-term genetic gains, and limit ability to make gains in new traits, like heat tolerance, that are becoming important as the climate changes. Here we investigate and propose potential breeding program applications of optimal haplotype selection (OHS), a selection ...

Selection effects on diversity and genetic gain.
Silva Fennica, 1991 Four different methods of truncation selection were studied in a population consisting of a large number of unrelated full sib families of equal size: phenotype selection, family selection, within-family selection and combined index selection (optimal ...

Hybrid Aspen Performance and Genetic Gains
Northern Journal of Applied Forestry, 1993 Abstract The aspen hybrid breeding program has been active in the Lake States since 1955. This study summarizes long-term performance of aspen hybrids in six locations in Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Interspecific hybrids of native bigtooth aspen and quaking aspen with other poplar species show improved growth when compared with native ...

Fine-grained timing using genetic programming [PDF]
, 2010 In previous work, we have demonstrated that it is possible to use Genetic Programming to minimise the resource consumption of software, such as its power consumption or execution time. In this paper, we investigate the extent to which Genetic Programming
