A BLUP derivation of the multivariate breeder's equation, with an elucidation of errors in BLUP variance estimates, and a prediction method for inbred populations [PDF]
Modeling, Identification and Control, 2022 The multivariate breeder's equation, Lande (1979), was derived from the Price equation Price (1970,1972). Here, I present a derivation based on the BLUP (best linear unbiased predictions) equations in matrix form, first given in summation form by ...

Genetic Variability and Resistance to Orobanche in Oriental Nicotiana tabacum L. [PDF]
Agrotechniques in Industrial Crops, 2023 Broomrape as an obligate parasite that threatens tobacco production (Nicotiana tabacum L.), has destructive effects on its characteristics. The reduction in yield caused by this parasite is so great that sometimes farmers are forced to leave their fields

Genome-wide Association Study (GWAS) and Its Application for Improving the Genomic Estimated Breeding Values (GEBV) of the Berkshire Pork Quality Traits [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2015 The missing heritability has been a major problem in the analysis of best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP). We introduced the traditional genome-wide association study (GWAS) into the BLUP to improve the heritability estimation.

The Usage of an SNP-SNP Relationship Matrix for Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) Analysis Using a Community-Based Cohort Study [PDF]
Genomics & Informatics, 2014 Best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) has been used to estimate the fixed effects and random effects of complex traits. Traditionally, genomic relationship matrix-based (GRM) and random marker-based BLUP analyses are prevalent to estimate the genetic ...
