Targeted Genomic Selection

Targeted Genomic Selection (TGS) is a technology that uses detailed genetic information to identify and select animals or plants with desirable traits, such as higher yield or disease resistance. Instead of relying solely on physical characteristics or traditional breeding, TGS examines specific DNA markers linked to these traits. By focusing on these markers, breeders can make more accurate and efficient decisions, accelerating the development of improved breeds or crops. This method enhances selection precision, reduces breeding time, and helps achieve better outcomes in agriculture and animal production.
