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.

Predictive performance of genomic selection methods for carcass traits in Hanwoo beef cattle: impacts of the genetic architecture.

TL;DR: The findings indicate the importance of using a proper variable selection method for genomic selection of traits and also suggest that the genetic architecture that underlies CW differs from that of the other carcass traits analyzed.

Implementation of genomic recursions in single-step genomic best linear unbiased predictor for US Holsteins with a large number of genotyped animals.

TL;DR: Develop and evaluate an efficient implementation in the computation of the inverse of genomic relationship matrix with the recursion algorithm, called the algorithm for proven and young (APY), in single-step genomic BLUP and validated genomic predictions for young bulls with more than 500,000 genotyped animals in final score for US Holsteins.

An Equation to Predict the Accuracy of Genomic Values by Combining Data from Multiple Traits, Populations, or Environments.

TL;DR: The derived equation can accurately predict the accuracy of estimating genomic values for different scenarios of multipopulation genomic prediction and can be used to investigate the potential accuracy of different multipopulations genomic prediction scenarios and to decide on the most optimal design of training populations.

Genomic selection for grain yield and quality traits in durum wheat

TL;DR: All the six ST-GS models appear to be applicable for GS of yield and gluten strength traits in durum wheat, but the simple computational models RR-BLUP or G-BLup for predicating single trait and MT-SI for predicting yield and protein simultaneously are recommended.

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.
