Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genomic selection has become an important tool in the genetic improvement of animals and plants. The objective of this study was to investigate the impacts of breeding value estimation method, reference population structure, and trait genetic architecture, on long-term response to genomic selection without updating marker effects. METHODS: Three methods were used to estimate genomic breeding values: a...
