TLDR
Efficient methods for processing genomic data were developed to increase reliability of estimated breeding values and to estimate thousands of marker effects simultaneously, and a blend of first- and second-order Jacobi iteration using 2 separate relaxation factors converged well for allele frequencies and effects.

A Genomic Bayesian Multi-trait and Multi-environment Model

TL;DR: A Bayesian model for analyzing multiple traits and multiple environments for whole-genome prediction (WGP) model with unstructured variance–covariance structures is proposed and it is found that when the correlation between traits was high (>0.5), the proposed model improved prediction accuracy compared to the model with diagonal and standard variance-covarance structures.

Estimation of Genetic Correlation via Linkage Disequilibrium Score Regression and Genomic Restricted Maximum Likelihood

TL;DR: It is suggested that any interesting findings from massive LDSC analysis for a large number of complex traits should be followed up, where possible, with more detailed analyses with GREML methods, even if sample sizes are lesser.

Preliminary investigation on reliability of genomic estimated breeding values in the Danish Holstein population

TL;DR: The results indicate that genomic selection can greatly improve the accuracy of preselection for young bulls compared with traditional selection based on parent average information.

Prediction of Total Genetic Value Using Genome-Wide Dense Marker Maps

TL;DR: It was concluded that selection on genetic values predicted from markers could substantially increase the rate of genetic gain in animals and plants, especially if combined with reproductive techniques to shorten the generation interval.

Coefficients of Inbreeding and Relationship

TL;DR: The importance of having a coefficient by means of which the degree of inbreeding may be expressed has been brought out by Pearl' in a number of papers published between 1913 and 1917.

Strategy for applying genome-wide selection in dairy cattle.

TL;DR: Genome-wide selection may become a popular tool for genetic improvement in livestock after a strategy that utilizes these advantages was compared with a traditional progeny testing strategy under a typical Canadian-like dairy cattle situation.
