Abstract Conventional pre-genomics breeding methodologies have significantly improved crop yields since the mid-twentieth century. Genomics provides breeders with advanced tools for whole-genome study, enabling a direct genotype–phenotype analysis. This shift has led to precise and efficient development through genomics-based approaches, including molecular markers, genomic selection, genome editing. Molecular such as SNPs, are crucial identifying regions linked important traits, enhancing accuracy efficiency. Genomic resources viz. genetic reference genomes, sequence protein databases, transcriptomes, gene expression profiles, vital in plant aid identification of key understanding diversity, assist mapping, support marker-assisted selection speeding up programs. Advanced techniques like CRISPR/Cas9 allow modification, accelerating processes. Key Genome-Wide Association study (GWAS), Marker-Assisted Selection (MAS), (GS) enable trait prediction outcomes, improving yield, disease resistance, stress tolerance. These handy complex traits influenced by multiple genes environmental factors. paper explores new technologies editing showcasing their impact on developing varieties.

The use of assisted-reproduction technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) is increasing, particularly dairy cattle. question consequences later life has not yet been directly addressed by studies on large animal populations. Studies rodents and early data from humans cattle suggest that manipulation gametes embryos could result long-term alteration metabolism, growth, fertility. Our goal was to better describe these presumed the population cows produced IVF Québec (Canada) compare them animals conceived artificial insemination (AI) or multiple ovulation embryo transfer (MOET). To do so, we leveraged a phenotypic database (2.5 million 4.5 lactations) milk records aggregated Lactanet (Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, QC, Canada) spanning 2012 2019. We identified 304,163, 12,993, 732 AI, MOET, IVF, respectively, for total 317,888 Holstein which retrieved information 576,448, 24,192, 1,299 lactations (total = 601,939), respectively. Genetic energy-corrected yield (GECM) Lifetime Performance Index (LPI) parents were used normalize genetic potential across animals. When compared with general population, MOET outperformed AI cows. However, when comparing those same only herdmates accounting their higher GECM models, found no statistical difference between conception methods production first 3 lactations. also rate improvement during 2019 period less than observed population.

Gene editing (GnEd) involves using a site-directed nuclease to introduce double-strand break (DSB) at targeted location in the genome. A literature search was performed on use of GnEd animals for agricultural applications. Data extracted from 212 peer-reviewed articles that described production least one living animal employing technologies purposes. The most common system reported CRISPR/Cas9, and frequent type edit unguided insertion or deletion resulting repair DSB leading knock-out (KO) mutation. Animal groups included reviewed papers were ruminants (cattle, sheep, goats, n=63); monogastrics (pigs rabbit, n=60); avian (chicken, duck, quail, n=17); aquatic (many species, n=65), insects (honeybee, silkworm, n=7).
