Detecting positive selection in the genome [PDF]

open access: yesBMC 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.

Genomic Selection in multi-environment crop trials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Genomic selection in crop breeding introduces modelling challenges not found in animal studies. These include the need to accommodate replicate plants for each line, consider spatial variation in field trials, address line by environment interactions ...

The long-term effects of genomic selection: 1. Response to selection, additive genetic variance, and genetic architecture

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2022
Background Genomic selection has revolutionized genetic improvement in animals and plants, but little is known about its long-term effects. Here, we investigated the long-term effects of genomic selection on response to selection, genetic variance, and ...

Genetic control of tomato fruit quality: from QTL mapping to Genome Wide Association studies and breeding

open access: yesComptes Rendus Biologies, 2022
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

Improved Lasso for genomic selection

open access: yesGenetics 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).

AUC-RF: A New Strategy for Genomic Profiling with Random Forest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Objective: Genomic profiling, the use of genetic variants at multiple loci simultaneously for the prediction of disease risk, requires the selection of a set of genetic variants that best predicts disease status.

The application of genomic selection in improvement of molecular breeding programs in aquaculture [PDF]

open access: yesمجله بیوتکنولوژی کشاورزی, 2022
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.

Genomics Select [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2007
The incredible leaps in technology that now make high-speed genome sequencing possible are revolutionizing the hunt for genes and genetic variations associated with disease. A stunning series of recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified new candidate genes for a number of common diseases including breast cancer, heart disease ...

Heterosis and Hybrid Crop Breeding: A Multidisciplinary Review

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
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 ...
