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.

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.

Localization of adaptive variants in human genomes using averaged one-dependence estimation. [PDF]
Statistical methods for identifying adaptive mutations from population genetic data face several obstacles: assessing the significance of genomic outliers, integrating correlated measures of selection into one analytic framework, and distinguishing ...

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 ...

Surviving a Genome Collision: Genomic Signatures of Allopolyploidization in the Recent Crop Species [PDF]
Polyploidization has played a major role in crop plant evolution, leading to advantageous traits that have been selected by humans. Here, we describe restructuring patterns in the genome of Brassica napus L., a recent allopolyploid species.

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.
