Summary: The bovine breeding programs in Brazil are trying to adopt the use of genetic markers, a procedure called genomic selection (GS). GS consists in genotyping a given reference population with known phenotype and in the discovery of the associated genetic markers. The effect of the markers are estimated and validated so it is possible to predict the genetic values of the candidates of selection based on their genotypes.
