Abstract:

 Genomic selection (GS) is a maker-assisted selection method with the whole genome data.This approach could predict estimated breeding value with higher accuracy at early stage by analyzing the genetic markers covering the whole genome,and it also could decrease the inbreeding coefficient and improve the genetic progress substantially in swine breeding.With the achievement of swine genome sequencing and commercialization of PorineSNP60 Beadchip,the strategy of genomic selection has been becoming a new hot spot in swine breeding research area.In this review,we briefly summarized the analytical method,computing method and influence factors of GS,and we also elaborated the application situation and development tendency of GS in swine breeding.
