Genomic-enabled prediction is becoming increasingly important in animal and plant breeding and is also receiving attention in human genetics. Deriving accurate predictions of complex traits requires implementing whole-genome regression (WGR) models where phenotypes are regressed on thousands of markers concurrently. Methods exist that allow implementing these large-p with small-n regressions, and genome-enabled selection (GS) is being implemented in several plant and animal breeding programs. The list of available methods is long, and the relationships between them have not been fully addressed. In this article we provide an overview of available methods for implementing parametric WGR models, discuss selected topics that emerge in applications, and present a general discussion of lessons learned from simulation and empirical data analysis in the last decade.read more

Cold Stress in Plants: Strategies to Improve Cold Tolerance in Forage Species
Laxman Adhikari,Rudra Baral,Dev Paudel,Doohong Min,Shiva O. Makaju,Hari P. Poudel,Janam P. Acharya,Ali Missaoui +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors discuss on cold stress effect, signal perception, signal transduction, gene expression, and associated molecular phenomena in plants and discuss the importance of high-throughput genomics and phenomics for cold tolerance improvement in forage species and recommended implementing widely recognized techniques such as genomic selection (GS) and genomewide association studies (GWAS) to develop climate-resilient cultivars.

A robust DF-REML framework for variance components estimation in genetic studies.
TL;DR: A robust derivative‐free restricted‐maximum likelihood framework (DF‐REML) together with a robust coefficient of determination are proposed for the LMM in the context of genetic studies of continuous traits to allow for the robust estimation of SNP‐based heritability by reducing the bias and increasing the precision of its estimates.

TL;DR: The history of GS is covered and particular milestones during its adaptation to maize breeding are highlighted, including how GS can be applied to developing superior maize inbreds and hybrids and the stages in a maize breeding program where it would be beneficial to apply GS.

TL;DR: Genomic regions identified may enhance marker-assisted selection in bovine cheese breeding beyond the use of protein (casein) and fat contents, whereas new knowledge will help to unravel the genomic background of a cow's ability for cheese production.

TL;DR: A new method for estimation in linear models called the lasso, which minimizes the residual sum of squares subject to the sum of the absolute value of the coefficients being less than a constant, is proposed.

Stochastic Relaxation, Gibbs Distributions, and the Bayesian Restoration of Images
Stuart Geman,Donald Geman +1 more
TL;DR: The analogy between images and statistical mechanics systems is made and the analogous operation under the posterior distribution yields the maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimate of the image given the degraded observations, creating a highly parallel ``relaxation'' algorithm for MAP estimation.
