Genomic prediction accuracies in space and time for height and wood density of Douglas-fir using exome capture as the genotyping platform

Abstract Background Genomic selection (GS) can offer unprecedented gains, in terms of cost efficiency and generation turnover, to forest tree selective breeding; especially for late expressing and low heritability traits. Here, we used: 1) exome capture as a genotyping platform for 1372 Douglas-fir...
