Figure 1. Role of NGS in genomics-assisted breeding.

Figure 1

NGS occupies a critical position in a genomics-assisted breeding pipeline; it helps improve the speed and precision of trait mapping to identify genes and QTLs that are the targets of MAS, and it underlies the ability to calculate GEBVs based on genome-wide prediction that predict the breeding value of individuals in a breeding population using GS.
