EM algorithm for Bayesian estimation of genomic breeding values [PDF]
BMC Genetics, 2010 In genomic selection, a model for prediction of genome-wide breeding value (GBV) is constructed by estimating a large number of SNP effects that are included in a model. Two Bayesian methods based on MCMC algorithm, Bayesian shrinkage regression (BSR) method and stochastic search variable selection (SSVS) method, (which are called BayesA and BayesB ...

Assessment of Efficiency of Breeding Methods in Accelerating Genetic Gain in Rice
AgronomyThe pedigree, bulk, and single-seed descent-based rapid generation advance methods are commonly practiced breeding methods in rice. But the efficiency of these breeding methods in enhancing genetic gain has not been investigated yet.

Application of Genomic Data for Reliability Improvement of Pig Breeding Value Estimates
Animals, 2021 Replacement pigs’ genomic prediction for reproduction (total number and born alive piglets in the first parity), meat, fatness and growth traits (muscle depth, days to 100 kg and backfat thickness over 6–7 rib) was tested using single-step genomic best ...

Reliabilities of genomic estimated breeding values in Danish Jersey
Animal, 2012 In order to optimize the use of genomic selection in breeding plans, it is essential to have reliable estimates of the genomic breeding values. This study investigated reliabilities of direct genomic values (DGVs) in the Jersey population estimated by three different methods. The validation methods were (i) fivefold cross-validation and (ii) validation
