Recent advances in molecular genetic techniques will make dense marker maps available
and genotyping many individuals for these markers feasible. Here we attempted to estimate …

Inflammatory bowel diseases are chronic gastrointestinal inflammatory disorders that affect
millions of people worldwide. Genome-wide association studies have identified 200 …

Traditional marker-assisted selection (MAS) did not result in a widespread use of DNA
information in animal breeding. The main reason was that the traits of interest in livestock …

Whole-genome resequencing technology has improved rapidly during recent years and is
expected to improve further such that the sequencing of an entire human genome sequence …

Estimated breeding values (EBVs) using data from genetic markers can be predicted using
a genomic relationship matrix, derived from animal’s genotypes, and best linear unbiased …

Three recent breakthroughs have resulted in the current widespread use of DNA information:
the genomic selection (GS) methodology, which is a form of marker-assisted selection on a …

Genomic Selection (GS) is a newly developed tool for the estimation of breeding values for
quantitative traits through the use of dense markers covering the whole genome. For a …

Background Recent developments in SNP discovery and high throughput genotyping
technology have made the use of high-density SNP markers to predict breeding values feasible. …

Background Genomic selection is a selection method where effects of dense genetic
markers are first estimated in a test population and later used to predict breeding values of …

The prediction of identity by descent (IBD) probabilities is essential for all methods that map
quantitative trait loci (QTL). The IBD probabilities may be predicted from marker genotypes …
