Through imputation of genotypes, genome‐wide association study (GWAS) and genomic
prediction (GP) using whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) data are cost‐efficient and feasible …

The genomic prediction of unobserved genetic values or future phenotypes for complex
traits has revolutionized agriculture and human medicine. Fertility traits are undoubtedly …

Genomic selection (GS) is a breeding tool that estimates breeding values (GEBVs) of
individuals based solely on marker data by using a model built using phenotypic and marker …

Background Genetic variance that is not captured by single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) is due to imperfect linkage disequilibrium (LD) between SNPs and quantitative trait …

Genomic selection has been demonstrated as a powerful technology to revolutionize animal
breeding. However, marker density and minor allele frequency can affect the predictive …

By incorporating high-density markers into breeding value prediction models, the whole
genomic prediction (WGP) method can effectively accelerate genetic improvement in …

Based on molecular markers, genomic prediction enables us to speed up breeding schemes
and increase the response to selection. There are several high-throughput genotyping …

The present research aimed to compare the effect of minor allele frequency (MAF) threshold
during the quality control process of genotypes, using single nucleotide polymorphisms …

The accuracy of genomic prediction of quantitative traits based on single nucleotide
polymorphism (SNP) markers depends among other factors on the allele frequency …

Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is a member of prohormone family and has important
