Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recently, artificial neural networks (ANN) have been proposed as promising machines for marker-based genomic predictions of complex traits in animal and plant breeding. ANN are universal approximators of complex functions, that can capture cryptic relationships between SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) and phenotypic values without the need of explicitly defining a genetic model. This concept is...
