TLDR
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.Abstract:
Recent advances in molecular genetic techniques will make dense marker maps available and genotyping many individuals for these markers feasible. Here we attempted to estimate the effects of ∼50,000 marker haplotypes simultaneously from a limited number of phenotypic records. A genome of 1000 cM was simulated with a marker spacing of 1 cM. The markers surrounding every 1-cM region were combined into marker haplotypes. Due to finite population size (Ne = 100), the marker haplotypes were in linkage disequilibrium with the QTL located between the markers. Using least squares, all haplotype effects could not be estimated simultaneously. When only the biggest effects were included, they were overestimated and the accuracy of predicting genetic values of the offspring of the recorded animals was only 0.32. Best linear unbiased prediction of haplotype effects assumed equal variances associated to each 1-cM chromosomal segment, which yielded an accuracy of 0.73, although this assumption was far from true. Bayesian methods that assumed a prior distribution of the variance associated with each chromosome segment increased this accuracy to 0.85, even when the prior was not correct. 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.read more

Warped linear mixed models for the genetic analysis of transformed phenotypes
TL;DR: In simulations and applications to real data from human, mouse and yeast, it is shown that using transformations inferred by the model increases power in genome-wide association studies and increases the accuracy of heritability estimation and phenotype prediction.

Prediction of plant height in Arabidopsis thaliana using DNA methylation data.
TL;DR: This work used methylation information for predicting plant height (PH) in Arabidopsis thaliana nonparametrically, using reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS) regression and created a kernel that mimics the genomic relationship matrix in genomic best linear unbiased prediction (G-BLUP).

TL;DR: This study demonstrates how genome-wide selection can facilitate breeding for adaptation and proposes a way to use genomic random regression, an extension of factorial regression, to model the reaction norms of a genotype to an environmental stress: the FR-gBLUP.

TL;DR: ANN with Bayesian regularization performed as well as linear Bayesian regression models in predicting additive genetic values, supporting the idea that ANN are useful as universal approximators of functions of interest in breeding contexts.
