Forest tree breeding has been successful at delivering genetically improved material for
multiple traits based on recurrent cycles of selection, mating, and testing. However, long …

Since its introduction in 2001, genomic selection (GS) has progressed rapidly. As a research
and application hot topic, GS has led to a revolution in the field of animal and plant breeding …

Deep learning (DL) has emerged as a powerful tool to make accurate predictions from
complex data such as image, text, or video. However, its ability to predict phenotypic values …

Functional annotation of genomes is a prerequisite for contemporary basic and applied
genomic research, yet farmed animal genomics is deficient in such annotation. To address …

Crop production can be severely limited by adverse environmental conditions such as
drought, extreme heat, and frost. As climate change intensifies, weather patterns are …

Cultivated apple (Malus× domestica Borkh.) is one of the most important fruit crops in
temperate regions, and has great economic and cultural value. The apple genome is highly …

Recent advancements in genomic technologies have led to the discovery and application of
DNA‐markers [eg single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)] for the genetic improvement of …

In the past years, there has been a remarkable development of high-throughput omics (HTO)
technologies such as genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and …

Background Millions of genetic variants have been identified by population-scale
sequencing projects, but subsets of these variants are needed for routine genomic …

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), genotyped with arrays, have become a widely
used marker type in population genetic analyses over the last 10 years. However, compared …
