This study introduces the Channel-Weighted Attention Genomic Selection Convolutional Network (CWAGS) for crop breeding. CWAGS improves genomic selection accuracy and provides insights into trait-specific genetic architectures.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Plant Breeding
  • Machine Learning

Background:

  • Genomic selection accelerates crop trait improvement but struggles with complex genetic interactions.
  • Novel deep learning models are needed to enhance genomic selection accuracy and interpretability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the Channel-Weighted Attention Genomic Selection Convolutional Network (CWAGS) for genomic data analysis.
  • To improve prediction accuracy and biological interpretability in genomic selection.

Main Methods:

  • Developed CWAGS, a convolutional neural network with channel-weighted attention and depthwise separable convolutions.
  • Integrated DropPath regularization with residual connections for enhanced generalization.
  • Applied CWAGS to four benchmark datasets for evaluation.
Keywords:

Main Results:

  • CWAGS demonstrated improved average accuracy by 1.2%-4.8% over suboptimal models.
  • Channel attention weights revealed distinct genetic architectures for different traits, offering biological interpretability.
  • The model provides insights into genotype-phenotype relationships for precision breeding.

Conclusions:

  • CWAGS balances prediction accuracy and biological interpretability, serving as a reference for precision genomic selection.
  • The framework enhances crop genetic improvement by increasing breeding efficiency.
