In this Focus Group, Hans Fischer Senior Fellow Prof. Daniel Gianola (Animal Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Madison) and and his host from the Chair for Plant Breeding, Prof. Chris-Carolin Schön, have developed new methods for predicting complex traits in plant and animal breeding and in human or veterinary medicine using genomic information and statistical learning techniques. The goal was to develop methodology that accounts for the highly-dimensional nature of genomic information as well as genome complexity, from the perspective of genetic improvement of agricultural species, as well as personalized prediction of treatment outcomes in medicine.
