- Vol. 91, Iss: 11, pp 4414-4423
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.

Inbreeding depression due to recent and ancient inbreeding in Dutch Holstein–Friesian dairy cattle

TL;DR: Investigation of effects of recent and ancient inbreeding on yield, fertility and udder health traits in Dutch Holstein–Friesian cows found inbreeding depression was observed and there was evidence of purging for yield traits and based on pedigree.

An R2R3-type MYB transcription factor, GmMYB29, regulates isoflavone biosynthesis in soybean.

TL;DR: Overexpression and RNAi-mediated silencing of GmMYB29 in soybean hairy roots resulted in increased and decreased isoflavone content, respectively, and a candidate-gene association analysis revealed that 11 natural GmmyB29 polymorphisms were significantly associated with is oflavone contents, and regulation of Gb29 expression could partially contribute to the observed phenotypic variation.

Multi-environment Genomic Prediction of Plant Traits Using Deep Learners With Dense Architecture

TL;DR: This study corroborates the view that there are no universally best prediction machines and believes that DL should be added to the data science toolkit of scientists working on animal and plant breeding.

Genome-wide association and biological pathway analysis for milk-fat composition in Danish Holstein and Danish Jersey cattle.

TL;DR: There was a clear similarity between the underlying genetics of FA in the milk between DH and DJ and the biological pathway analysis suggested that fat digestion and absorption KEGG04975 is important for the traits FP, C14:1, C16 index and C16:1.

Genomic Estimated Breeding Values Using Genomic Relationship Matrices in a Cloned Population of Loblolly Pine

TL;DR: Estimation of genomic relationships could be a powerful tool in forest tree breeding because it accurately accounts both for genetic relationships among individuals and for nuisance effects such as location and replicate effects, and makes more accurate selection possible within full-sib crosses.

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.

Derivation, calculation, and use of national animal model information.

TL;DR: New terms and definitions were developed to explain national USDA genetic evaluations computed by an animal model, whereiability is the squared correlation of predicted and true transmitting ability.
