Comparison of various models for the estimation of heritability and breeding values

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2022
Abstract The exploration of additive genetic variance for the selection of animals is the central paradigm in quantitative genetics and it is important to use appropriate animal models considering important factors. This study compares various factor effects for heritability and breeding values estimations on data collected on the Corriedale ...

Why Breeding Values Estimated Using Familial Data Should Not Be Used for Genome-Wide Association Studies [PDF]

, 2014
In animal breeding, the genetic potential of an animal is summarized as its estimated breeding value, which is derived from its own performance as well as the performance of related individuals.

The genome-wide analysis identified significant genomic loci explaining genetic variance for body conformation in Hanwoo (Korean cattle) cows

Journal of Applied Animal Research
Genomic data and objective traits (body conformation, growth and carcass features) could increase efficiency in cow selection. GWAS on carcass traits of Hanwoo cattle have been published; however, only a few studies are about body conformation traits ...

Sensitivity of methods for estimating breeding values using genetic markers to the number of QTL and distribution of QTL variance

, 2010
The objective of this simulation study was to compare the effect of the number of QTL and distribution of QTL variance on the accuracy of breeding values estimated with genomewide markers (MEBV).

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

Estimation of breeding value for bodyweight of grasscutters

Nigerian Journal of Animal Production, 2021
Animal breeders are interested in the genetic worth or total genetic merit of an animal for a given trait. The value of an animal in a breeding program for a particular trait is called the breeding value. The aim of this study was to predict the breeding values for bodyweight of grasscutters at 4, 6 and 8 months of age using univariate animal model ...

The effectiveness of genomic selection for milk production traits of Holstein dairy cattle [PDF]

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2020
Objective This study was conducted to test the efficiency of genomic selection for milk production traits in a Korean Holstein cattle population. Methods A total of 506,481 milk production records from 293,855 animals (2,090 heads with single nucleotide ...

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 ...
