Genesus global technical report: Adding customer value with genotype information
Genesus has written a number of articles on the importance of genomic information to improve genetic gain. That is because genomic information can greatly improve the accuracy of estimated breeding values (EBVs), particularly for lowly heritable traits (total number born), traits that can only be collected on the carcass (pH, color, etc), sex limited (litter traits), or difficult/expensive to measure (feed intake). Furthermore, this is the most important benefit to genomics because it ultimately benefits our customers.
