Although traditional breeding methods are effective in the selection of animal populations with many important economic traits, the accuracy of breeding values has always been a problem with these methods. With the rapid development of molecular genetics, modern biotechnologies, and bioinformatics and their penetration and application in animal breeding, genome selection technology has become a research hotspot and frontier in the field of animal breeding to make greater genetic progress. Genome selection has become the future of livestock breeding companies by reducing genetic spacing and improving reliability to increase genetic gain.
