Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genomic prediction requires estimation of variances of effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which is computationally demanding, and uses these variances for prediction. We have developed models with separate estimation of SNP variances, which can be applied infrequently, and genomic prediction, which can be applied routinely. METHODS: SNP variances were estimated with Bayes Stochastic...
