Genomic selection optimization in blueberry: Data‐driven methods for marker and training population design by Paul Adunola, Luis Felipe V. Ferrão, Juliana Benevenuto, Camila F. Azevedo, Patricio R. Munoz

“…To this end, we used a historical blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosun L.) breeding dataset containing more than 3000 individuals, genotyped using probe‐based target sequencing and phenotyped for three fruit quality traits over several years. Our contribution in this study is threefold: (i) for the genotyping resource allocation, the use of genetic data‐driven methods to select an optimal set of markers slightly improved prediction results for all the traits; (ii) for the long‐term implication, we carried out a simulation study and emphasized that data‐driven method results in a slight improvement in genetic gain over 30 cycles than random marker sampling; and (iii) for the phenotyping resource allocation, we compared different optimization algorithms to select training population, showing that it can be leveraged to increase predictive performances. …”
