Genomic Selection Consortium

The Genomic Selection Consortium is a collaborative group of researchers and organizations focused on advancing plant and animal breeding through genomic technology. They develop and share methods to quickly identify beneficial genetic traits by analyzing DNA, helping breeders select the best candidates faster and more accurately. This approach accelerates the development of higher-yielding crops and livestock with desired characteristics, ultimately improving agriculture productivity, sustainability, and resilience to environmental changes. The consortium promotes research, data sharing, and innovation to maximize the benefits of genomic information in breeding programs worldwide.
