A Population Genetics Model of Marker-Assisted Selection [PDF]

Genetics, 1997
A deterministic two-loci model was developed to predict genetic response to marker-assisted selection (MAS) in one generation and in multiple generations. Formulas were derived to relate linkage disequilibrium in a population to the proportion of additive genetic variance used by MAS, and in turn to an extra improvement in genetic response over ...

Marker-assisted selection using ridge regression

Annals of Human Genetics, 1999
In crosses between inbred lines, linear regression can be used to estimate the correlation of markers with a trait of interest; these marker effects then allow marker assisted selection (MAS) for quantitative traits. Usually a subset of markers to include in the model must be selected: no completely satisfactory method of doing this exists.

Optimal weighting of information in marker-assisted selection

Genetical Research, 1997
In crosses between inbred lines linear regression can be used to estimate marker effects; these marker effects then allow marker-assisted selection (MAS) for quantitative traits. Weighting of marker and phenotypic information in MAS requires estimation of genetic variance associated with the markers: the usual estimators are biased ...

Efficiency of marker assisted selection

Animal Biotechnology, 1997
Genetic markers can be used in breeding programmes in a variety of ways. Here we emphasize marker assisted introgression in crossbred populations, and marker assisted selection in outbred populations. As marker typing costs reduce, the value of their use in a breeding programme will be dominated by returns rather than their costs.

Genome and Transcriptome sequence of Finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.) provides insights into drought tolerance and nutraceutical properties

BMC Genomics, 2017
Background Finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.) is an important staple food crop widely grown in Africa and South Asia. Among the millets, finger millet has high amount of calcium, methionine, tryptophan, fiber, and sulphur containing amino ...

Science and Society in Dialogue About Marker Assisted Selection [PDF]

, 2010
Analysis of a European Union funded biotechnology project on plant genomics and marker assisted selection in Solanaceous crops shows that the organization of a dialogue between science and society to accompany technological innovations in plant breeding ...

Marker-assisted selection:A smart biotechnological strategy for modern plant breeding

Peruvian Journal of Agronomy, 2020
Plant breeders and geneticists use molecular marker-assisted selection also called as MAS as a useful approach for breeding of plant to make selection more efficient and speed up the breeding cycle. MAS can be more efficient, effective, and reliable than

Microsatellite-assisted backcross selection in maize

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2005
A microsatellite marker (SSR) was chosen to simulate a target allele and three criteria (02, 04 and 06 markers per chromosome) were tested to evaluate the most efficient parameters for performing marker-assisted backcross (MAB) selection.

Prediction of haplotypes for ungenotyped animals and its effect on marker-assisted breeding value estimation [PDF]

, 2010
Background: In livestock populations, missing genotypes on a large proportion of animals are a major problem to implement the estimation of marker-assisted breeding values using haplotypes.

A Rosaceae Family-Level Approach To Identify Loci Influencing Soluble Solids Content in Blackberry for DNA-Informed Breeding

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
A Rosaceae family-level candidate gene approach was used to identify genes associated with sugar content in blackberry (Rubus subgenus Rubus). Three regions conserved among apple (Malus × domestica), peach (Prunus persica), and alpine strawberry ...
