Genomic prediction when some animals are not genotyped

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2010
Background The use of genomic selection in breeding programs may increase the rate of genetic improvement, reduce the generation time, and provide higher accuracy of estimated breeding values (EBVs).

Development of a Next-Generation NIL Library in Arabidopsis Thaliana for Dissecting Complex Traits [PDF]

, 2013
The identification of the loci and specific alleles underlying variation in quantitative traits is an important goal for evolutionary biologists and breeders.

A Novel Root-Knot Nematode Resistance QTL on Chromosome Vu01 in Cowpea. [PDF]

, 2019
The root-knot nematode (RKN) species Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica cause substantial root system damage and suppress yield of susceptible cowpea cultivars.

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 ...

Sensitivity of methods for estimating breeding values using genetic markers to the number of QTL and distribution of QTL variance [PDF]

, 2010
The objective of this simulation study was to compare the effect of the number of QTL and distribution of QTL variance on the accuracy of breeding values estimated with genomewide markers (MEBV).

Simultaneous QTL detection and genomic breeding value estimation using high density SNP chips [PDF]

BMC Proceedings, 2010
The simulated dataset of the 13th QTL-MAS workshop was analysed to i) detect QTL and ii) predict breeding values for animals without phenotypic information. Several parameterisations considering all SNP simultaneously were applied using Gibbs sampling.Fourteen QTL were detected at the different time points.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Identification of superior parental lines for biparental crossing via genomic prediction.

PLoS ONE, 2020
A parental selection approach based on genomic prediction has been developed to help plant breeders identify a set of superior parental lines from a candidate population before conducting field trials.

Inclusion of genomic information in estimation of genetic parameters for body weights and visual scores in Nelore cattle

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2021
The aim of this study was to evaluate genomic information inclusion in genetic parameter estimation of standardized body weight at birth and at 240, 365, and 450 days of age, and visual scores for body structure, precocity, and body muscularity, measured

Low-density genotype panel for both parentage verification and discovery in a multi-breed sheep population [PDF]

, 2019
peer-reviewedThe generally low usage of artificial insemination and single-sire mating in sheep, compounded by mob lambing (and lambing outdoors), implies that parentage assignment in sheep is challenging.
