Abstract excerpt
Genomic selection is based on breeding values that are estimated using genome-wide dense marker maps. The objective of this paper was to investigate the effect of including or ignoring the polygenic effect on the accuracy of total genomic breeding values, when there is coverage of the genome with approximately one SNP per cM. The importance of the polygenic effect might differ for high and low heritability...
