About this Research Topic
In the rapidly evolving field of genetics, the continuous development of advanced tools and methodologies is revolutionizing the way we approach genomic selection and breeding programs. Genomic selection, which leverages genomic data to predict the genetic value of livestock, holds immense potential for improving agricultural productivity and sustainability. However, the success of genomic selection is critically dependent on the accuracy and precision of both genotypic and phenotypic measurements.
Recent innovations in genetic tools, such as high-quality genomes, high-throughput sequencing technologies, genome-scale SNP arrays and advanced bioinformatics approaches, have significantly enhanced our ability to manipulate and understand genetic material in livestock. These tools enable researchers to identify and characterize genetic variations with unprecedented accuracy, providing deeper insights into the genetic basis of important traits in animals. Alongside these advancements, the development of precise phenotyping systems has become equally crucial. Modern phenotyping technologies, including automated imaging systems, AI-assisted image analysis model, and sensor networks, offer high-throughput and high-resolution data collection, allowing for detailed and accurate assessment of phenotypic traits to domesticated animals.
By gathering pioneering research and comprehensive reviews, this special issue aspires to set new standards in phenotypic and genotypic measurements, ultimately facilitating the progress of genomic selection in livestock speeds. We invite contributions from researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to share their insights and findings, fostering a collaborative effort towards the advancement of genetics and breeding sciences. This collection aims to provide a platform for disseminating knowledge that will drive forward the efficiency and effectiveness of genomic selection, with the goal of achieving superior agricultural outcomes in this very industry.
This research topic aims to highlight the latest breakthroughs in these areas. We seek to explore how these advancements are being integrated into breeding strategies to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of genomic selection specifically in farm stock other speeds. Topics of interest include the creation of innovative genetic tools, the construction of state-of-the-art phenotyping measurement systems, and the development of new breeding strategies that utilize improved phenotypic and genotypic data.
