The effect of genomic information on optimal contribution selection in livestock breeding programs [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: Long-term benefits in animal breeding programs require that increases in genetic merit be balanced with the need to maintain diversity (lost due to inbreeding). This can be achieved by using optimal contribution selection. The availability of

Genomic Estimated Breeding Values Using Genomic Relationship Matrices in a Cloned Population of Loblolly Pine [PDF]
G3 Genes|Genomes|Genetics, 2013 Abstract Replacement of the average numerator relationship matrix derived from the pedigree with the realized genomic relationship matrix based on DNA markers might be an attractive strategy in forest tree breeding for predictions of genetic merit.

Efficient Breeding by Genomic Mating
Frontiers in Genetics, 2016 Selection in breeding programs can be done by using phenotypes (phenotypic selection), pedigree relationship (breeding value selection) or molecular markers (marker assisted selection or genomic selection).

Genomic breeding value estimation using genetic markers, inferred ancestral haplotypes, and the genomic relationship matrix [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2011 With the introduction of new single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chips of various densities, more and more genotype data sets will include animals genotyped for only a subset of the SNP. Imputation techniques based on unobserved ancestral haplotypes may be used to infer missing genotypes.

A method for genotyping elite breeding stocks of leaf chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) by assaying mapped microsatellite marker loci [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: Leaf chicory (Cichorium intybus subsp. intybus var. foliosum L.) is a diploid plant species (2n = 18) of the Asteraceae family. The term "chicory" specifies at least two types of cultivated plants: a leafy vegetable, which is highly ...

Genomic Prediction for 25 Agronomic and Quality Traits in Alfalfa (Medicago sativa)
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Agronomic and quality traits in alfalfa are very important to forage industry. Genomic prediction (GP) based on genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) data could shorten the breeding cycles and accelerate the genetic gains of these complex traits, if they ...

Predicted Residual Error Sum of Squares of Mixed Models: An Application for Genomic Prediction. [PDF]
, 2017 Genomic prediction is a statistical method to predict phenotypes of polygenic traits using high-throughput genomic data. Most diseases and behaviors in humans and animals are polygenic traits. The majority of agronomic traits in crops are also polygenic.
