Accuracy of prediction of gene content in large animal populations and its use for candidate gene detection and genetic evaluation.

Abstract excerpt

To estimate and to use the effects of single genes on quantitative traits, genotypes need to be known. However, in large animal populations, the majority of animals are not genotyped. These missing genotypes have to be estimated. However, currently used methods are impractical for large pedigrees. An alternative method to estimate missing gene content, defined as the number of copies of a particular allele, was...
