Selective genotyping to implement genomic selection in beef cattle breeding
Genomic selection (GS) plays an essential role in livestock genetic improvement programs. In dairy cattle, the method is already a recognized tool to estimate the breeding values of young animals and reduce generation intervals.

Estimation of pedigree errors in the UK dairy population using microsatellite markers and the impact on selection [PDF]
The proportion of cows in the UK dairy herd whose sires were misidentified was estimated using DNA markers. Genetic marker genotypes were determined on 568 cows (from 168 milk samples and 400 hair samples) and 96 putative sires (from semen samples).
