Multilevel selection on mitochondrial genomes
Mitochondria are vital organelles for life in eukaryotes, taking centre stage in the process of cellular respiration. This process is regulated via a series of finely coordinated obligate interactions of molecules encoded by two genomes: nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNA.

Pre-selection of markers for genomic selection [PDF]
Abstract Background Accurate prediction of genomic breeding values (GEBVs) requires numerous markers. However, predictive accuracy can be enhanced by excluding markers with no effects or with inconsistent effects among crosses that can adversely affect the prediction of GEBVs. Methods

Comparing Genomic Prediction Models by Means of Cross Validation
In the two decades of continuous development of genomic selection, a great variety of models have been proposed to make predictions from the information available in dense marker panels.

The application of genomic selection in improvement of molecular breeding programs in aquaculture [PDF]
Objective Although aquaculture is the fastest sector in terms of animal protein production in the world, breeding programs in aquatic species have been delayed compared to livestock and plants.

The incredible leaps in technology that now make high-speed genome sequencing possible are revolutionizing the hunt for genes and genetic variations associated with disease. A stunning series of recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified new candidate genes for a number of common diseases including breast cancer, heart disease ...

Modeling Epistasis in Genomic Selection [PDF]
Abstract Modeling epistasis in genomic selection is impeded by a high computational load. The extended genomic best linear unbiased prediction (EG-BLUP) with an epistatic relationship matrix and the reproducing kernel Hilbert space regression (RKHS) are two attractive approaches that reduce the computational load.

Background Genomic selection has revolutionized genetic improvement in animals and plants, but little is known about its long-term effects. Here, we investigated the long-term effects of genomic selection on response to selection, genetic variance, and ...

Genomic plasticity is emerging as a mechanism of phenotypic variation both within individual organisms and across species over evolutionary time. This Genomics Select examines recently reported examples of genomic plasticity at work as well as the mechanisms for how one mode of genome alteration, transposition, is regulated.

Consumers began to complain about the taste of tomato varieties in the late 1990’s. Although tomato taste is influenced by environmental and post-harvest conditions, varieties show a large diversity for fruit quality traits. We herein review our past and

Heterosis and Hybrid Crop Breeding: A Multidisciplinary Review
Although hybrid crop varieties are among the most popular agricultural innovations, the rationale for hybrid crop breeding is sometimes misunderstood. Hybrid breeding is slower and more resource-intensive than inbred breeding, but it allows systematic ...
