GWAS: “G-whiz!” or “GWAShed-up”? Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) link single-nucleotide variations in the human genome to a complex trait. Over the past 4 years, these ground-breaking studies have identified almost 1000 alleles increasing an individual's risk for developing common diseases, such as cancer and obesity.

Genomic Selection in Cereal Breeding [PDF]
Genomic Selection (GS) is a method in plant breeding to predict the genetic value of untested lines based on genome-wide marker data. The method has been widely explored with simulated data and also in real plant breeding programs. However, the optimal strategy and stage for implementation of GS in a plant-breeding program is still uncertain.

Improved Lasso for genomic selection
SummaryEmpirical experience with genomic selection in dairy cattle suggests that the distribution of the effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) might be far from normality for some traits. An alternative, avoiding the use of arbitrary prior information, is the Bayesian Lasso (BL).

A Review of Genomic Models for the Analysis of Livestock Crossbred Data
Livestock breeding has shifted during the past decade toward genomic selection. For the estimation of breeding values in purebred breeding schemes, genomic best linear unbiased prediction has become the method of choice. Systematic crossbreeding with the

Genome-wide association studies on leaf midrib architecture in maize
IntroductionLeaf midrib architecture (LMA) in maize plays essential roles in supporting leaf structure and facilitating photosynthetic performance. Despite its importance for plant architecture and yield potential, the genetic basis underlying key midrib
