Y. J. Shu, Yu, D. S., Wang, D., Bai, X., Zhu, Y. M., and Guo, C. H., Genomic selection of seed weight based on low-density SCAR markers in soybean, vol. 12, pp. 2178-2188, 2013.

With the development of molecular marker technology, crop breeding has been accelerated by marker-assisted selection for the improvement of quantitative traits. However, due to the traits' polygenic nature, traditional marker-assisted selection methods are ill-suited for identification of quantitative trait loci. Genomic selection (GS) was introduced into crop breeding to achieve more accurate predictions by considering all genes or markers simultaneously.
