Cell, 2010 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.

A Review of Genomic Models for the Analysis of Livestock Crossbred Data
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 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

Improved Lasso for genomic selection
Genetics Research, 2010 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).

Accuracy of genomic breeding value prediction for intramuscular fat using different genomic relationship matrices in Hanwoo (Korean cattle) [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2017 Objective Intramuscular fat is one of the meat quality traits that is considered in the selection strategies for Hanwoo (Korean cattle). Different methods are used to estimate the breeding value of selection candidates.

Genomic selection in tree breeding [PDF]
Сибирский лесной журнал, 2020 The literature review concerning genomic selection in forest tree breeding is given. Genomic selection is based on relationships between phenotypic traits and genetic markers (single nucleotide polymorphism, SNP).

Multilevel selection on mitochondrial genomes
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2023 Mitochondria are vital organelles for life in eukaryotes, taking centre stage in the process of cellular respiration. This process is regulated via a series of finely coordinated obligate interactions of molecules encoded by two genomes: nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNA.

Identification of superior parental lines for biparental crossing via genomic prediction.
PLoS ONE, 2020 A parental selection approach based on genomic prediction has been developed to help plant breeders identify a set of superior parental lines from a candidate population before conducting field trials.

Discovering functional DNA elements using population genomic information: A proof of concept using human mtDNA [PDF]
, 2014 Identifying the complete set of functional elements within the human genome would be a windfall for multiple areas of biological research including medicine, molecular biology, and evolution. Complete knowledge of function would aid in the prioritization of loci when searching for the genetic bases of disease or adaptive phenotypes.
