Evaluation of genomic selection and marker-assisted selection in Miscanthus and energycane

Genomic selection: marker assisted selection on a genome wide scale.

Genomic selection (GS) has become a very intense field of research during recent years. GS may be defined as the simultaneous selection for many (tens or hundreds of thousands of) markers, which cover the entire genome in a dense manner so that all genes are expected to be in linkage disequilibrium with at least some of the markers. In a sense, GS is marker assisted selection on a genome wide s...

Effects of Marker Density, Number of Quantitative Trait Loci and Heritability of Trait on Genomic Selection Accuracy

The success of genomic selection mainly depends on the extent of linkage disequilibrium (LD) between markers and quantitative trait loci (QTL), number of QTL and heritability (h2) of the traits. The extent of LD depends on the genetic structure of the population and marker density. This study was conducted to determine the effects of marker density, level of heritability, number of QTL, and to ...

Historical Overview and Current Status of Genomic Technology and Marker Assisted Selection in Beef Cattle

Genomic technology has long been viewed as a transformative technology in that it has the potential to greatly alter strategies for livestock selection and management. Effective selection requires accurate predictions of genetic merit. Traditional genetic evaluations are obtained from data and pedigree information. In contrast, genomic predictions of genetic merit are based on associations, der...
