Complex or quantitative traits are important in medicine, agriculture and evolution, yet, until
recently, few of the polymorphisms that cause variation in these traits were known. Genome …

Predicting the accuracy of estimated genomic values using genome-wide marker
information is an important step in designing training populations. Currently, different …

Background The success of genomic selection in animal breeding hinges on the availability
of a large reference population on which genomic-based predictions of additive genetic or …

Background Genomic selection has been successfully implemented in plant and animal
breeding programs to shorten generation intervals and accelerate genetic progress per unit …

Simple Summary Historically, Korea has been an agrarian society where cattle played a
significant role in Korean culture as working animals. However, in recent decades, there has …

The proportion of genetic variation in complex traits explained by rare variants is a key
question for genomic prediction, and for identifying the basis of “missing heritability”–the …

This study aimed to conduct a meta-analysis based on a random-effects model to combine
different published pedigree-based and genomic heritability estimates for production traits in …

Background Whole-genome sequencing and imputation methodologies have enabled the
study of the effects of genomic variants with low to very low minor allele frequency (MAF) on …

Complex diseases are affected by various factors, and single-nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) are the basis for their susceptibility by affecting protein structure and gene …

Background Genetic relatedness is currently estimated by a combination of traditional
pedigree-based approaches (ie numerator relationship matrices, NRM) and, given the …
