Abstract excerpt
Whole genome prediction (WGP) based on high density SNP marker panels is known to improve the accuracy of breeding value (BV) prediction in livestock. However, these accuracies can be compromised when genotype by environment interaction (G×E) exists but is not accounted for. Reaction norm (RN) and random regression (RR) models have proven to be useful in accounting for G×E in pre-WGP evaluations by modeling BV as...
