Genomic approaches to accelerate American chestnut restoration More than a century after two introduced pathogens killed billions of American chestnut trees, introgression of resistance alleles from Chinese chestnuts has contributed to the recovery of self-sustai...

A step forward in restoring the American #chestnut #tree, Castanea dentata, which was almost wiped out by chestnut #blight, caused by the #invasive #fungus Cryphonectria parasitica, and Phytophthora root rot.

Genomic models outperformed pedigree in predicting traits in UK Sitka spruce, despite sparse marker data. As genomic data grows, so will accuracy - highlighting the promise of genomics in tree breeding. #Genetics #TreeBreeding #GenomicSelection

We agree, I shall read on 👍 Although I would consider being a little 🤏 stronger than the word ‘cumbersome’.

Anyone else find that although calculating selection indexes 🧮 using the SmithHazel formula is good at maximising economic gain, it completely ignores any balance between traits which in an agricultural system 🌱🌾🐄 can be problematic. 🧬 🖥️ #PlantBreeding #GenomicSelection

1/🧵 Interested about how others are structuring their genomic pipelines post-alignment/variant calling for #GenomicPrediction #GenomicSelection #RiskScoring. Do you maintain individual sample VCFs extracting the genotype for GEBV calculation or merge multiple into a single VCF for analysis? 🧬🖥️

🤔 Any potential issues in running kfolds in parallel for #bayesian GS models within the same R session, thoughts? I would think everything during the calculation would be contained to the respective k-fold process. 🧬💻 #GenomicSelection #rstats

Is anyone doing genomic selection in hops? 🌱 🧬 🍺 #Genomics #GenomicSelection #PlantBreeding
