Reliability of pedigree-based and genomic evaluations in selected populations

Paper on "Reliability of pedigree-based and genomic evaluations in selected populations" has finally been published after tedious reviews. This work is a follow up study on reliability of genetic evaluation in selected populations by Piter Bijma (link), but this time connecting pedigree-based and genomic evaluations. The take-home message is that PEV-based reliabilities of genomic predictions are not so much affected by selection as pedigree predictions. This has implications when different breeding program designs are compared using PEV reliabilities - commonly PEV reliability of genomic and pedigree predictions are compared - and suggests that genotyping female selection candidates has been undervalued and should be reconsidered.

Plant breeding and genetics club at K-state have a nice website, which hosts videos from the symposia they organised (there was one in 2013 and one is planned for 2015).

Potential of genotyping-by-sequencing for genomic selection in livestock populations

Our new paper titled "Potential of genotyping-by-sequencing for genomic selection in livestock populations" has been published in Genetics Selection Evolution. This work shows that genotypes called from low-coverage sequencing data can be equally or even more powerful for genomic prediction than high-quality SNP genotypes. In particular manipulation of coverage allows us to increase number of genotyped individuals at the expense of genotype quality and this can bring us a long way before accuracy of genomic predictions falls significantly. Another useful application is in increasing selection intensity by genotyping more/all selection candidates.
