Genotype data from dairy cattle selection programs have greatly facilitated GWAS to identify
variants related to economic traits. Results can enhance the accuracy of genomic prediction …

Soybean is one of the most valuable agricultural crops in the world. Besides, this legume is
constantly attacked by a wide range of pathogens (fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes) …

Monitoring genetic diversity in wild populations is a central goal of ecological and
evolutionary genetics and is critical for conservation biology. However, genetic studies of …

Genotype imputation is the term used to describe the process of inferring unobserved
genotypes in a sample of individuals. It is a key step prior to a genome-wide association …

Natural variation has become a prime resource to identify genetic variants that contribute to
phenotypic variation. The regional mapping (RegMap) population is one of the most …

Backfat thickness (BFT) is complex and economically important traits in the pig industry,
since it reflects fat deposition and can be used to measure the carcass lean meat …

As a result of millions of years of transposon activity, multiple rounds of ancient
polyploidization, and large populations that preserve diversity, maize has an extremely …

Upland rice production is limited by the low phosphorus (P) availability of many highly
weathered tropical soils and P deficiency is likely to become increasingly limiting in future …

Lay Summary Large-scale genotyping platforms are valuable tools for animal selection and
breeding programs. The bead chip has been widely used in both research and commercial …

The concept of haplotype blocks has been shown to be useful in genetics. Fields of
application range from the detection of regions under positive selection to statistical methods …
