Pea Genomics: Using Computational Analytics for Enhanced Genomic Prediction.
EF 2024-25 · 2024-08-07
Résumé
The proposed Grant & Contribution project aims to perform essential
computational analyses in support of the PeaCE (Pea Climate Efficient)
project approved by Genome Canada. This entails evaluating the genetic
variation present within the Climate-Smart Pea Germplasm Resource
(CSPGR), a collection comprising 2000 lines.
The project also seeks to develop an advanced genomic prediction
framework for peas, with the potential to expedite the breeding cycle and
facilitate the integration of greater genetic diversity into breeding programs.
To achieve this, the project will employ a combination of cutting-edge
statistical models and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML)
algorithms to analyze genomic data and predict crucial traits in peas,
including disease resistance, stress tolerance, yield potential, and other
significant agronomic characteristics. By leveraging these computational
tools, the project aims to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of pea
breeding programs.
