Abstract

Marker-assisted selection (MAS) in animal breeding has undergone transformative advancements, reshaping genetic improvement and reproductive traits in livestock and expanding into new domains. From its inception in the late 20th century to current developments, MAS has evolved dynamically through the integration of genomic technologies, sophisticated statistical models, and innovative gene editing techniques. These advancements have significantly enhanced the precision and impact of MAS, revolutionizing genetic improvement and reproductive performance. By synergizing MAS with cutting-edge technologies, the collective aim is to optimize reproductive performance and genetic potential, fostering a sustainable and productive future for livestock breeding and beyond. The genetic markers, typically DNA sequences or genes linked to specific traits, revolutionized animal breeding by enabling the identification of animals carrying favorable genetic variants without the need for resource-intensive phenotypic evaluations. Marker-assisted selection in reproduction also laid the foundation for genomic selection, an advanced approach utilizing genome-wide markers to estimate breeding values and predict genetic potential. This comprehensive review encapsulates the journey of MAS, emphasizing its historical significance, current advancements, and promising future trajectories, showcasing its pivotal role in shaping the landscape of animal breeding and reproductive science.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The authors provide exon-level annotation of genes that have contributed to livestock domestication and desirable commercial traits.

    “As a first step to support a possible future marker assisted selection scheme152–154 for the muskox, we provide exon-level annotation of genes that have contributed to livestock domestication (Supplementary Table S8) and desirable commercial traits such as meat and dairy production, wool quality, prolificity, and heat tolerance155–159 (Supplementary Table S9).”

    From Chromosomal-level reference genome assembly of muskox (Ovibos moschatus) from Banks Island in the Canadian Arctic, a resource for conservation genomics (2024) · cites this paper as [154]

    The Introduction and §6 describe marker-assisted selection for livestock traits, which is the topic of the citation attached to the proposed future scheme. The citing sentence says its own authors provide the exon-level annotation; our copy contains no passage reporting exon-level annotation or a muskox gene catalogue (searched those terms and livestock domestication).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
