Summary genomic selection
- Genomic selection (GS) uses state-of-the-art molecular biology and sophisticated statistical methods.
- However, the application of genomic selection is simple and is in principle no different to how we have used previous selection instruments. Genomic selection brings us closer to the genetic bases.
- Genomic selection is NOT a manipulation of the genetic substance and can therefore be used ethically and with confidence for the selection of the best suited animals for a particular business situation, also in organic farms.
