Genomic Selection in Aquaculture Species

2022
To date, genomic prediction has been conducted in about 20 aquaculture species, with a preference for intra-family genomic selection (GS). For every trait under GS, the increase in accuracy obtained by genomic estimated breeding values instead of classical pedigree-based estimation of breeding values is very important in aquaculture species ranging ...

Correlational selection in the age of genomics

Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2021
Ecologists and evolutionary biologists are well aware that natural and sexual selection do not operate on traits in isolation, but instead act on combinations of traits. This long-recognized and pervasive phenomenon is known as multivariate selection, or-in the particular case where it favours correlations between interacting traits-correlational ...

Selection and Adaptation in the Human Genome

Annual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics, 2013
An enduring goal of evolutionary biology is to understand how natural selection has shaped patterns of polymorphism and divergence within and between species and to map the genetic basis of adaptations. The rapid maturation of next-generation sequencing technology has generated a deluge of genomics data from nonhuman primates, extinct hominins, and ...

Genomic Selection in Plant Breeding

2014
Genomic selection (GS) is a method to predict the genetic value of selection candidates based on the genomic estimated breeding value (GEBV) predicted from high-density markers positioned throughout the genome. Unlike marker-assisted selection, the GEBV is based on all markers including both minor and major marker effects.

Selection on the Protein-Coding Genome

2012
Populations evolve as mutations arise in individual organisms and, through hereditary transmission, may become "fixed" (shared by all individuals) in the population. Most mutations are lethal or have negative fitness consequences for the organism.

Pathogens select for genomic variants

Science, 2017
Malarial Genomics Large-scale deletions and duplications of genes, referred to as structural variants (SVs), are common within the human genome and have been linked to disease. Examining a genomic region that appears to confer a selective benefit, Leffler et al.

Genomic insights into positive selection

Trends in Genetics, 2006
The traditional way of identifying targets of adaptive evolution has been to study a few loci that one hypothesizes a priori to have been under selection. This approach is complicated because of the confounding effects that population demographic history and selection have on patterns of DNA sequence variation.

How retroviruses select their genomes

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2005
As retroviruses assemble in infected cells, two copies of their full-length, unspliced RNA genomes are selected for packaging from a cellular milieu that contains a substantial excess of non-viral and spliced viral RNAs. Understanding the molecular details of genome packaging is important for the development of new antiviral strategies and to enhance ...

Genomic selection in hybrid breeding

Plant Breeding, 2014
AbstractWhile hybrid breeding is widely applied in outbreeding species, for many self‐pollinating crop plants, it has only recently been established. This may have had its reason in the limitations of methods available for hybrid performance prediction, in particular when established heterotic pools were absent.
