More accurate and precise phenoty** strategies are necessary to empower high-
resolution linkage map** and genome-wide association studies and for training genomic …

Ecologically mediated selection against hybrids, caused by hybrid phenotypes fitting poorly
into available niches, is typically viewed as distinct from selection caused by epistatic …

The rediscovery of Mendel's work showing that the heredity of phenotypes is controlled by
discrete genes was followed by the reconciliation of Mendelian genetics with evolution by …

Traditional marker-assisted selection (MAS) did not result in a widespread use of DNA
information in animal breeding. The main reason was that the traits of interest in livestock …

Gene discovery, estimation of heritability captured by SNP arrays, inference on genetic
architecture and prediction analyses of complex traits are usually performed using different …

DNA markers have enormous potential to improve the efficiency and precision of
conventional plant breeding via marker-assisted selection (MAS). The large number of …

Recognizing the enormous potential of DNA markers in plant breeding, many agricultural
research centers and plant breeding institutes have adopted the capacity for marker …

Despite important strides in marker technologies, the use of marker‐assisted selection has
stagnated for the improvement of quantitative traits. Biparental mating designs for the …

The search for the alleles that matter, the quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) that underlie
heritable variation within populations and divergence among them, is a popular pursuit. But …

Improved genotypes developed by plant breeding remain pivotal to global food security. In
the wake of ever-increasing human population, declining agricultural resources and the …
