Abstract excerpt
Preimplantation embryo genomic selection (eGS) enables selection prior to implantation and could accelerate genetic gain in cattle. A major hurdle is the limited DNA from embryo biopsies, requiring efficient whole-genome amplification (WGA) for accurate genomic analyses. However, alternative WGA methods and genotyping strategies have not been systematically compared in cattle. This study evaluated different...
