<strong>Genomic</strong> selection (GS)<br />

• Marker assisted selection on whole genome<br />

high density markers.<br />

Require high LD between QTL and markers<br />

• Many advantages over traditional methods<br />

Explain more genetic variance,<br />

Higher accuracy<br />

Shorter generation interval<br />

• Cost effective and widely implemented in dairy<br />

cattle genetic evaluation.<br />

May be not cost effective for other livestock species
