The role of molecular genetics in animal breeding: A minireview

Current animal breeding approaches are strongly associated with the development of sophisticated molecular genetics methods and techniques. Worldwide expansion genomic selection can be achieved by identification genetic DNA markers implementation microarray (“chip”) technology. Further advancement was next-generation sequencing methods, high-throughput genotyping platforms, targeted genome editing techniques, studies epigenetic mechanisms. The remarkable “omics” technologies, such as genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics metabolomics, has enabled individual prediction performance, disease-causing genes biomarkers for prevention treatment overall qualitative progress in production.
