Author(s): NASCIMENTO, M.; SILVA, F. F. e; RESENDE, M. D. V. de; CRUZ, C. D.; NASCIMENTO, A. C. C.; VIANA, J. M. S.; AZEVEDO, C. F.; BARROSO, L. M. A. Genomic selection (GS) is a variant of marker-assisted selection, in which genetic markers covering the whole genome predict individual genetic merits for breeding. GS increases the accuracy of breedi... ... |
Genome-enabled prediction of breeding values for feedlot average daily weight gain in nelore cattle. Author(s): SOMAVILLA, A. L.; REGITANO, L. C. de A.; ROSA, G. J. M.; MOKRY, F. B.; MUDADU, M. de A.; TIZIOTO, P. C.; OLIVEIRA, P. S. N. de; SOUZA, M. M. de; COUTINHO, L. L.; MUNARI, D. P. Nelore is the most economically important cattle breed in Brazil, and the use of genetically improved animals has contributed to increase beef production efficiency.

Author(s): SOUSA, T. V.; CAIXETA, E. T.; ALKIMIM, E. R.; OLIVEIRA, A. C. B. de; PEREIRA, A. A.; SAKIYAMA, N. S.; ZAMBOLIM, L.; RESENDE, M. D. V. de Genomic Selection (GS) has allowed the maximization of genetic gains per unit time in several annual and perennial plant species. However, no GS studies have addressed Coffea arabica, the most economi... ... |
