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 ...

On the Accuracy of Genomic Selection
PLOS ONE, 2016 Genomic selection is focused on prediction of breeding values of selection candidates by means of high density of markers. It relies on the assumption that all quantitative trait loci (QTLs) tend to be in strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) with at least one marker.

Accuracy of multi-trait genomic selection using different methods [PDF]
, 2011 Background Genomic selection has become a very important tool in animal genetics and is rapidly emerging in plant genetics. It holds the promise to be particularly beneficial to select for traits that are difficult or expensive to measure, such as traits

The effect of genomic information on optimal contribution selection in livestock breeding programs [PDF]
, 2013 Long-term benefits in animal breeding programs require that increases in genetic merit be balanced with the need to maintain diversity (lost due to inbreeding). This can be achieved by using optimal contribution selection.

Comparison of analyses of the QTLMAS XIV common dataset. I: genomic selection [PDF]
, 2011 Background - For the XIV QTLMAS workshop, a dataset for traits with complex genetic architecture has been simulated and released for analyses by participants. One of the tasks was to estimate direct genomic values for individuals without phenotypes.

Estimating genomic breeding values and detecting QTL using univariate and bivariate models [PDF]
, 2011 Background Genomic selection is particularly beneficial for difficult or expensive to measure traits. Since multi-trait selection is an important tool to deal with such cases, an important question is what the added value is of multi-trait genomic ...

Implications of avoiding overlap between training and testing data sets when evaluating genomic predictions of genetic merit [PDF]
, 2010 The aim of this study was to evaluate and quantify the importance of avoiding overlap between training and testing subsets of data when evaluating the effectiveness of predictions of genetic merit based on genetic markers.
