Marker-assisted selection (MAS) has been widely used in the last few decades in plant breeding programs for the mapping and introgression of genes for economically important …
Genomic selection-the prediction of breeding values using DNA polymorphisms-is a disruptive method that has widely been adopted by animal and plant breeders to increase …
Key message Optimal cross selection increases long-term genetic gain of two-part programs with rapid recurrent genomic selection. It achieves this by optimising efficiency of converting …
Aneuploidy that arises during meiosis and/or mitosis is a major contributor to early embryo loss. We previously showed that human preimplantation embryos encapsulate …
Background Flavobacterium columnare is the pathogen agent of columnaris disease, a major emerging disease that affects rainbow trout aquaculture. Selective breeding using …
Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) is an important aquaculture species in New Zealand and selective breeding since the 1990s has resulted in significant gains in growth …
Abstract Background Genomic prediction using Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) genotype by sequencing platform has not been reported in yellowtail kingfish (Seriola …
Key message We were able to obtain good prediction accuracy in genomic selection with~ 2000 GBS-derived SNPs. SNPs in genic regions did not improve prediction accuracy …
Blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) is an important autopolyploid crop with significant benefits for human health. Apart from its genetic complexity, the feasibility of genomic prediction has …
