Here we review the applications and deployment of appropriate ADSTs for GAB, in the context of next-generation sequencing (NGS), an emerging source of massive genomic information. We discuss suitable software tools and pipelines for marker-based approaches (markers/haplotypes), including large-scale genotypic and phenotypic, data management, and molecular breeding approaches. Although phenotyping remains expensive and time consuming, prediction of allelic effects on phenotypes opens new doors to enhance genetic gain across crop cycles, building on reliable phenotyping approaches and good crop information systems, including pedigree information and target haplotypes. date: 2015-12 date_type: published publication: Trends in Plant Science publisher: Elsevier pagerange: 01-10 id_number: 10.1016/j.tplants.2015.10.018 refereed: TRUE issn: 1360-1385 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.tplants.2015.10.018 related_url_url: https://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?hl=en&q=Analytical+and+Decision+Support+Tools+for+Genomics-Assisted+Breeding&btnG= related_url_type: pub citation: Varshney, R K and Singh, V K and Hickey, J M and Xun, X and Marshall, D F and Wang, J and Edwards, D and Ribaut, J M (2015) Analytical and Decision Support Tools for Genomics-Assisted Breeding.
