  • Molecular breeding methods
    Patent number: 11985930
    Abstract: Improved molecular breeding methods include a method in which an association data set is developed by associating the phenotypes of a broad population of individuals with the individual genotypes. The association data set is used in conjunction with a growth model in order to select breeding pairs likely to generate offspring with one or more desirable traits.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 4, 2015
    Date of Patent: May 21, 2024
    Assignee: PIONEER HI-BRED INTERNATIONAL, INC.
    Inventors: Mark Cooper, Carlos Messina, Frank Technow, Liviu Radu Totir
  • Molecular breeding methods
    Patent number: 11980147
    Abstract: A Bayesian multilevel whole-genome regression model is disclosed and its prediction performance compared to that of the popular BayesA model applied to each population separately (no pooling) and to the joined data set (complete pooling). For small population sizes (e.g., <50), partial pooling increased prediction accuracy over no or complete pooling for populations represented in the estimation set. Partial pooling with multilevel models can make optimal use of information in multi-population estimation sets.
