Genomic selection needs to be carefully assessed to meet specific requirements in livestock breeding programs

Genomic selection is a promising development in agriculture, aiming improved production by exploiting molecular genetic markers to design novel breeding programs and to develop new markers-based models for genetic evaluation. It opens opportunities for research, as novel algorithms and lab methodolo...
