Abstract excerpt
An appropriate strategy to estimate variance components and breeding values in genetic models with quantitative trait loci (QTL) was developed for a dairy cattle breeding scheme by utilizing simulated data. Reliable estimates for variance components in QTL models are a prerequisite in fine-mapping experiments and for marker-assisted genetic evaluations. In cattle populations, only a small fraction of the...
