Different methods to calculate genomic predictions--comparisons of BLUP at the single nucleotide polymorphism level (SNP-BLUP), BLUP at the individual level (G-BLUP), and the one-step approach (H-BLUP).

Abstract excerpt

Several strategies to use genomic data in predictions have been proposed. The aim of this study was to compare different genomic prediction methods. The response variables used in the genomic predictions were deregressed proofs, which were derived from 2 estimated breeding value (EBV) data sets. The full EBV data set from March 2010 included the EBV for production and mastitis traits for all Nordic red bulls. The...
