Genomic Selection in an Outcrossing Autotetraploid Fruit Crop: Lessons From Blueberry Breeding
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum and hybrids) is a specialty crop with expanding production and consumption worldwide. The blueberry breeding program at the University of Florida (UF) has greatly contributed to expanding production areas by developing low-

A Practical Application of Genomic Predictions for Mastitis Resistance in Italian Holstein Heifers
Animals, 2022 Heifers are a fundamental resource on farms, and their importance is reflected in both farm management and economy. Therefore, the selection of heifers to be reared on a farm should be carefully performed to select only the best animals.

Performance of Genomic Selection in Mice [PDF]
Genetics, 2008 Abstract Selection plans in plant and animal breeding are driven by genetic evaluation. Recent developments suggest using massive genetic marker information, known as “genomic selection.” There is little evidence of its performance, though.

Selection Acting on Genomes [PDF]
, 2019 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.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The centromere is a unique part of the chromosome combining a conserved function with an extreme variability in its DNA sequence. Most of our knowledge about the functional centromere organization is obtained from species with small and medium genome ...

Detecting positive selection in the genome [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2017 Population geneticists have long sought to understand the contribution of natural selection to molecular evolution. A variety of approaches have been proposed that use population genetics theory to quantify the rate and strength of positive selection acting in a species' genome.

Comparing Genomic Prediction Models by Means of Cross Validation
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 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.
