Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide selection aims to predict genetic merit of individuals by estimating the effect of chromosome segments on phenotypes using dense single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker maps. In the present paper, principal component analysis was used to reduce the number of predictors in the estimation of genomic breeding values for a simulated population. Principal component extraction was carried out either...
