Abstract excerpt
Knowledge of the genetic architecture of a quantitative trait is useful to adjust methods for the prediction of genomic breeding values and to discover the extent to which common assumptions in quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping experiments and breeding value estimation are violated. It also affects our ability to predict the long-term response of selection. In this paper, we focus on additive and dominance...
