New insights into genomic selection through population-based non-parametric prediction methods
Scientia Agricola: Genome-wide selection (GWS) is based on a large number of markers widely distributed throughout the genome. Genome-wide selection provides for the estimation of the effect of each molecular marker on the phenotype, thereby allowing for the capture of ...

Reduction of traits for genetic evaluation of linear described traits in the Old Kladruber horse
Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2012 The estimated genetic parameters were used for selection of important conformation traits and reduction in the number of the described characteristics. For reduction in the number of described traits from the original 36 to 24, the traits were selected ...
