Genomics

Genomics

Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

Genome comparison is one of the excellent ways to interpret the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The basic principle of genome comparison is that if two species share a common feature, it is likely encoded by the DNA sequence conserved between both species. The advent of genome sequencing technologies in the late 20th century enabled scientists to understand the concept of conservation of domains between species and helped them to deduce evolutionary relationships across diverse...

Genetic Screens

Genetic Screens

Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Genomic DNA in Eukaryotes

Genomic DNA in Eukaryotes

Eukaryotes have large genomes compared to prokaryotes. To fit their genomes into a cell, eukaryotic DNA is packaged extraordinarily tightly inside the nucleus. To achieve this, DNA is tightly wound around proteins called histones, which are packaged into nucleosomes that are joined by linker DNA and coil into chromatin fibers. Additional fibrous proteins further compact the chromatin, which is recognizable as chromosomes during certain phases of cell division.

Human Genetics

Human Genetics

Human genetics provides a profound framework for understanding the interplay between genetic predispositions and human psychology. At the heart of this discipline lies the study of how genes influence physical traits, behaviors, and susceptibility to diseases. Each person carries a unique genetic code that subtly or significantly shapes their psychological and behavioral landscape.
The complex relationship between genetics and psychology is observable through common biological components such...

Area of Science:

Animal Breeding and Genetics
Genomic Selection
Quantitative Genetics

Background:

Early genomic selection methods relied on SNP estimation, facing challenges with bias and complexity, especially for females.
Standard BLUP (Best Linear Unbiased Prediction) methods became biased after genomic selection implementation due to preselection.
De-regressed proofs (DRP) required adjustments and were difficult to compute for females, leading to potential double counting.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and evaluate single-step genomic Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (ssGBLUP) as a simplified and more accurate method for genomic selection.
To demonstrate ssGBLUP's ability to integrate diverse data sources and account for preselection biases.
To explore computational efficiencies and applications of ssGBLUP in large-scale animal populations.

Main Methods:

ssGBLUP combines pedigree and genomic relationship matrices to create a unified breeding value index.
Computational efficiency for large datasets was achieved by exploiting the limited dimensionality of genomic data.
The method was validated for its accuracy in integrating male and female genotypes and accounting for preselection.

Main Results:

ssGBLUP simplifies genomic selection by automatically creating an index from all information sources.
The method effectively accounts for preselection and can use combined male and female genotypes.
Computational costs for large populations were managed through dimensionality reduction techniques, enabling routine use in major livestock industries.

Conclusions:

ssGBLUP is a robust and accurate method that has become the standard for genomic selection in major livestock industries.
It offers significant advantages in simplicity, accuracy, and computational efficiency over previous methods.
Future research should focus on developing selection-unaffected validation, accurate parameter estimation, and managing genetic variance reduction.
