Genomic breeding value estimation using nonparametric additive regression models

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2009
Genomic selection refers to the use of genomewide dense markers for breeding value estimation and subsequently for selection. The main challenge of genomic breeding value estimation is the estimation of many effects from a limited number of observations.

Estimating genomic breeding values from the QTL-MAS Workshop Data using a single SNP and haplotype/IBD approach [PDF]

, 2009
Two models that estimated genomic estimated breeding values (EBVs) were applied: one used constructed haplotypes (based on alleles of 20 markers) and IBD matrices, another used single SNP regression.

Genomic predictions under different genetic architectures are impacted by mating designs

Veterinary and Animal Science
Mating in animal communities must be managed in a way that assures the performance increase in the progenies without increasing the rate of inbreeding. It has currently become possible to identify millions of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and ...

The importance of information on relatives for the prediction of genomic breeding values and the implications for the makeup of reference data sets in livestock breeding schemes

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2012
Background The theory of genomic selection is based on the prediction of the effects of genetic markers in linkage disequilibrium with quantitative trait loci.

Relevance of test information in horse breeding [PDF]

, 2011
The aims of this study were 1) to determine the role of test results of young horses in selection for sport performance, 2) to assess the genetic diversity of a closed horse breed and 3) the consequences of inbreeding for male reproduction.

Genomic Selection in Wheat Breeding using Genotyping-by-Sequencing

The Plant Genome, 2012
Genomic selection (GS) uses genomewide molecular markers to predict breeding values and make selections of individuals or breeding lines prior to phenotyping. Here we show that genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) can be used for de novo genotyping of breeding

Preservation of Genetic Variation in a Breeding Population for Long-Term Genetic Gain

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
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
