Abstract
Genomic selection; A Modern perspective in Animal breeding which has revolutionized the Dairy and Beef industry. It has enabled us to predict the genetic merit of candidate animals early and accurately by means of Genome Wide testing technologies. This review article focuses on the key advancements in genomic selection methodologies, prediction models and their positive results like genetic gain, reduction of generation intervals productivity etc. Moreover, Applications of GS in milk yield, fat and protein content and climate resilience are discussed along with its role in crossbreeding programs and conservation of genetic diversity. Genomic selection still faces some challenges. Breeders need large and diverse reference populations for accurate predictions. The cost of genotyping is high. Some researchers also talk about some collateral damage of GS on the biodiversity of the gene pool. Future work should focus on using functional variants and whole-genome sequencing. Reproductive technologies like embryo selection can also improve results. Overall, genomic selection is a strong tool to improve productivity and sustainability
By using genome-wide markers to predict an individual’s genetic potential, the introduction of Genomic Selection (GS) has transformed animal breeding. This greatly accelerated selection for complex traits by lowering reliance on drawn-out field trials, allowing for faster genetic gains in livestock. However, there is l...

The results suggest that, in elite wheat germplasm characterized by long-range linkage disequilibrium and strong realized genomic relationships, medium-density targeted genotyping platforms can retain most of the predictability achieved by higher-density systems.
Abstract Genomic selection (GS) is a powerful tool for accelerating genetic gain in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) breeding, particularly for complex traits. In this study, three practical aspects of GS implementation in a potato breeding program were examined. First, the predictive ability of GS models was evaluated fo...

Wheat is one of the world’s main crops. Its improvement is pivotal given the threat of climate change and the growing population. However, enhancing breeding efficiency and improving wheat are challenging due to strong genotype-by-environment (G×E) interactions and the biological complexity underlying the wheat genome...

Fruit crops are essential components of global agriculture, contributing substantially to nutritional security, farm income, employment and agricultural diversification. However, genetic improvement of perennial fruit crops is constrained by long juvenile phases, extended generation intervals, large plant size, high he...
