Abstract：Genomic selection (GS) is the marker-assisted selection in the whole Genome-wide. It has been proven to be the most efficient way of using DNA marker information to improve complex traits at present. This review briefly outlined gene-assisted selection and marker assisted selec-tion but focused on GS. The implementation strategy of the GS and the methods for estimation of the breeding values are included. The accuracy of GS is also introduced, and the article made a comparison of the calculation methods for genomic selection, and summarized the current state of the art of using marker information for genetic improvement in livestock. Finally, the current sta-tus of the implementation of GS in livestock was reviewed.
