Understanding genomic selection in poultry breeding
2014
WOLC, A.
Genomic selection is a recent paradigm shift for both animal and plant breeding. The availability of hundreds of thousands of markers covering the entire genome has provided an opportunity to increase the accuracy of estimated breeding values, better manage genetic variation and shorten generation intervals. This paper summarises how these new technologies can be applied to poultry breeding programmes to enhance genetic improvement.
