Do you want to know the impact of different selection strategies in breeding on allele frequency change? And the impact of selection on the fixation of favorable and unfavorable alleles? Then check our new preprint! @mariocalus @ZulmaVitezica #wur_abg https://t.co/Ivd9XiCxKF

#Genomics | Genomic selection is used in most #animalbreeding programmes nowadays. Together with partners, we're trying to unravel the long-term effects. #wur_abg @YWientjes @mariocalus @INRAE_DPT_GA

Very proud with the publication of this paper! It describes the long-term effects of genomic versus traditional selection on genetic variance, gain and architecture, and how it is affected by non-additive effects. #wur_abg @mariocalus @ZulmaVitezica https://t.co/WkEybdI8SP

Are you working on genetics of multiple species or breeds? Join #WCGALP2022 (https://t.co/WnSyDwFzoj) and submit an abstract to the session ‘Across-species and breed genetics’ that will be chaired by Ben Hayes, Irene van den Berg and myself.
Looking forward to your submissions!

[WCGALP2022 @wcgalp2022]

Abstract submission for #WCGALP2022 is open!

[Yvonne Wientjes @YWientjes]

@O_M_Powell Very nice to hear. Thanks!

[Yvonne Wientjes @YWientjes]

@John_B_Cole Thanks John!

[Yvonne Wientjes @YWientjes]

@GregorGorjanc Thanks Gregor!

[Yvonne Wientjes @YWientjes]

Is genomic selection able to maintain long-term genetic gain and genetic variance? And what are the effects of genomic selection on genetic architecture of traits? If you’re getting curious, then check our new preprint #wur_abg @mariocalus @ZulmaVitezica https://t.co/8ouzDCtzY5

[Yvonne Wientjes @YWientjes]

Very happy with the publication of our paper on optimizing genomic reference populations to improve crossbred performance in GSE (https://t.co/4QhtSPuwfK). With @mariocalus and Piter Bijma. @Breed4Food #wur_abg

[BIATY RAYMOND @raymondbiaty]

Happy to share our work just out in GSE. We developed a prediction equation for the accuracy of multi-population, multi-GRMs (MPMG) genomic prediction model. Have a good read! @rfveerkamp @bouwman_aniek @YWientjes @CRV4all @Breed4Food #wur_abg @NWO_TTW https://t.co/pizNOMNk8G

Verdorie, gaat niet goed in ons dorpske. Steeds meer meldingen van ook familie en vrienden met besmetting. Neem dit serieus mensen! #corona

Yesterday @pascalduenk2 successfully defended his PhD thesis. #wur_abg @WURanimal @Breed4Food @NWO_TTW He made a very good thesis with a very nice cover. It was a joy to supervise him together with Piter Bijma & @YWientjes His thesis is freely available: https://t.co/NizvY24CEp

Day 1 of GxE course @WURanimal, Han Mulder is introducing the topic for a very diverse and international audience

[Mario Calus @mariocalus]

Check our latest paper in @GeneticsGSA: Breeding Top Genotypes and Accelerating Response to Recurrent Selection by Selecting Parents with Greater Gametic Variance. Piter Bijma @YWientjes @mariocalus #wur_abg @Breed4Food. https://t.co/kxDau4itGY

[Pascal Duenk @pascalduenk2]

How do #dominance and #epistasis affect genetic correlations between populations? Find out in our latest paper published in G3, which is also the fourth chapter of my PhD thesis! @YWientjes @mariocalus @juliusvanderwer #wur_abg @Breed4Food @NWO_TTW https://t.co/uysd6tdFPi
