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.

Strategies Using Genomic Selection to Increase Genetic Gain in Breeding Programs for Wheat
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Conventional wheat-breeding programs involve crossing parental lines and subsequent selfing of the offspring for several generations to obtain inbred lines. Such a breeding program takes more than 8 years to develop a variety.

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.

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).

Positive selection on the human genome [PDF]
Human Molecular Genetics, 2004 Positive selection has undoubtedly played a critical role in the evolution of Homo sapiens. Of the many phenotypic traits that define our species--notably the enormous brain, advanced cognitive abilities, complex vocal organs, bipedalism and opposable thumbs--most (if not all) are likely the product of strong positive selection.

Genome-wide association studies on leaf midrib architecture in maize
Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionLeaf midrib architecture (LMA) in maize plays essential roles in supporting leaf structure and facilitating photosynthetic performance. Despite its importance for plant architecture and yield potential, the genetic basis underlying key midrib

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

Future trends in Animal Breeding due to new genetic tecnologies
, 2011 The Darwin theory of evolution by natural selection is based on three principles: (a) variation; (b) inheritance; and (c) natural selection. Here, I take these principles as an excuse to review some topics related to the future research prospects in ...
