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.

Advantages and limitations of multiple-trait genomic prediction for Fusarium head blight severity in hybrid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

TL;DR: Predictabilities for wheat hybrids less related to the estimation set were improved by shifting from single- to multiple-trait genomic prediction of Fusarium head blight severity, and Magnitudes of genetic and phenotypic correlations along with improvements in predictabilities made plant height a better indicator trait for FHBs than heading date.

Rapid screening for phenotype-genotype associations by linear transformations of genomic evaluations

TL;DR: The standardized test of marker effects using their own variance helps in detecting specific genomic regions involved in the additive variance, and in reducing false positives.

Partitioning additive genetic variance into genomic and remaining polygenic components for complex traits in dairy cattle

TL;DR: Most of the additive genetic variance for the traits in the Nordic Holstein population can be explained using 44 K informative SNP markers.

Genome-wide association study identifies three key loci for high mesocarp oil content in perennial crop oil palm.

TL;DR: This work performed GWAS for oil-to-dry-mesocarp content (O/DM) on 2,045 genotyped tenera palms using 200K SNPs that were selected based on the short-range linkage disequilibrium distance, which is inherent with long breeding cycles and heterogeneous breeding populations.

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.

Accuracy of Genomic Selection Using Different Methods to Define Haplotypes

TL;DR: It was concluded that genomic selection is considerably more accurate than traditional selection, especially for a low-heritability trait.
