Genomic Selection for Forest Tree Improvement: Methods, Achievements and Perspectives
The breeding of forest trees is only a few decades old, and is a much more complicated, longer, and expensive endeavor than the breeding of agricultural crops. One breeding cycle for forest trees can take 20–30 years.

On the Accuracy of Genomic Selection
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.

Benchmarking database systems for Genomic Selection implementation [PDF]
Motivation: With high-throughput genotyping systems now available, it has become feasible to fully integrate genotyping information into breeding programs.

Performance of Genomic Selection in Mice [PDF]
Abstract Selection plans in plant and animal breeding are driven by genetic evaluation. Recent developments suggest using massive genetic marker information, known as “genomic selection.” There is little evidence of its performance, though.

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.

The Adaptive Significance of Natural Genetic Variation in the DNA Damage Response of Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
Despite decades of work, our understanding of the distribution of fitness effects of segregating genetic variants in natural populations remains largely incomplete. One form of selection that can maintain genetic variation is spatially varying selection,

Genomic selection in salmonids: new discoveries and future perspectives
Over the past 20 years, the introduction of new molecular techniques has given a new impetus to genetic and genomic studies of fishes. The main traits selected in the aquaculture sector conform to the polygenic model, and, thus far, effective breeding ...

Multilevel selection on mitochondrial genomes
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.

Ridge Regression and Other Kernels for Genomic Selection with R Package rrBLUP
Many important traits in plant breeding are polygenic and therefore recalcitrant to traditional marker‐assisted selection. Genomic selection addresses this complexity by including all markers in the prediction model.

Symposium review: How to implement genomic selection.
Genomic selection was adopted very quickly in the 10 yr after first implementation, and breeders continue to find new uses for genomic testing. Breeding values with higher reliability earlier in life are estimated by combining DNA genotypes for many ...
