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.

Emerging issues in genomic selection [PDF]
Journal of Animal Science, 2021 Abstract Genomic selection (GS) is now practiced successfully across many species. However, many questions remain, such as long-term effects, estimations of genomic parameters, robustness of genome-wide association study (GWAS) with small and large datasets, and stability of genomic predictions.

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 divergent and parallel selection on the genomic landscape of divergence [PDF]
, 2023 While the role of selection in divergence along the speciation continuum is theoretically well understood, defining specific signatures of selection in the genomic landscape of divergence is empirically challenging.

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 ...
