Genomics-aided structure prediction [PDF]
We introduce a theoretical framework that exploits the ever-increasing genomic sequence information for protein structure prediction. Structure-based models are modified to incorporate constraints by a large number of non-local contacts estimated from direct coupling analysis (DCA) of co-evolving genomic sequences.

Estimation of Pool Construction and Technical Error
Pooling animals with extreme phenotypes can improve the accuracy of genetic evaluation or provide genetic evaluation for novel traits at relatively low cost by exploiting large amounts of low-cost phenotypic data from animals in the commercial sector ...

Application of Genomic Data for Reliability Improvement of Pig Breeding Value Estimates
Replacement pigs’ genomic prediction for reproduction (total number and born alive piglets in the first parity), meat, fatness and growth traits (muscle depth, days to 100 kg and backfat thickness over 6–7 rib) was tested using single-step genomic best ...

Genomic prediction using subsampling [PDF]
Genome-wide assisted selection is a critical tool for the genetic improvement of plants and animals. Whole-genome regression models in Bayesian framework represent the main family of prediction methods. Fitting such models with a large number of observations involves a prohibitive computational burden. We propose the use of subsampling bootstrap Markov

Utility and First Clinical Application of Screening Embryos for Polygenic Disease Risk Reduction
For over 2 decades preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) has been in clinical use to reduce the risk of miscarriage and genetic disease in patients with advanced maternal age and risk of transmitting disease.

The Dimensionality of Genomic Information and Its Effect on Genomic Prediction [PDF]
Abstract The genomic relationship matrix (GRM) can be inverted by the algorithm for proven and young (APY) based on recursion on a random subset of animals. While a regular inverse has a cubic cost, the cost of the APY inverse can be close to linear.

Genomic Prediction Using LD-Based Haplotypes in Combined Pig Populations
The size of reference population is an important factor affecting genomic prediction. Thus, combining different populations in genomic prediction is an attractive way to improve prediction ability.

Bayesian methods for jointly estimating genomic breeding values of one continuous and one threshold trait. [PDF]
Genomic selection has become a useful tool for animal and plant breeding. Currently, genomic evaluation is usually carried out using a single-trait model.

Interest of phenomic prediction as an alternative to genomic prediction in grapevine [PDF]
Abstract Background Phenomic prediction has been defined as an alternative to genomic prediction by using spectra instead of molecular markers. A reflectance spectrum provides information on the biochemical composition within a tissue, itself being under genetic determinism. Thus, a relationship matrix built from spectra
