Abstract excerpt
Four approaches using single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) information (F(infinity)-metric model, kernel regression, reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS) regression, and a Bayesian regression) were compared with a standard procedure of genetic evaluation (E-BLUP) of sires using mortality rates in broilers as a response variable, working in a Bayesian framework. Late mortality (14-42 days of age) records on...
