Invited review: Genomic selection in dairy cattle: progress and challenges.

TL;DR: In this article, a new technology called genomic selection is revolutionizing dairy cattle breeding, which refers to selection decisions based on genomic breeding values (GEBV) and is calculated as the sum of the effects of dense genetic markers, or haplotypes of these markers, across the entire genome, thereby capturing all the quantitative trait loci (QTL) that contribute to variation in a trait.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic Architecture of Complex Traits and Accuracy of Genomic Prediction: Coat Colour, Milk-Fat Percentage, and Type in Holstein Cattle as Contrasting Model Traits

TL;DR: It is shown that the accuracy of predicting genetic values is higher for traits with a proportion of large effects than for a trait with no loci of large effect (overall type), provided the method of analysis takes advantage of the distribution of loci effects.
