Accuracies of genomically estimated breeding values from pure-breed and across-breed predictions in Australian beef cattle [PDF]
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2014 The major obstacles for the implementation of genomic selection in Australian beef cattle are the variety of breeds and in general, small numbers of genotyped and phenotyped individuals per breed. The Australian Beef Cooperative Research Center (Beef CRC) investigated these issues by deriving genomic prediction equations (PE) from a training set of ...

Genomic Selection in Cereal Breeding
Agronomy, 2019 Genomic Selection (GS) is a method in plant breeding to predict the genetic value of untested lines based on genome-wide marker data. The method has been widely explored with simulated data and also in real plant breeding programs.

Reliabilities of genomic estimated breeding values in Danish Jersey
Animal, 2012 In order to optimize the use of genomic selection in breeding plans, it is essential to have reliable estimates of the genomic breeding values. This study investigated reliabilities of direct genomic values (DGVs) in the Jersey population estimated by three different methods. The validation methods were (i) fivefold cross-validation and (ii) validation
