Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Use of whole-genome sequence data is expected to increase persistency of genomic prediction across generations and breeds but affects model performance and requires increased computing time. In this study, we investigated whether the split-and-merge Bayesian stochastic search variable selection (BSSVS) model could overcome these issues. BSSVS is performed first on subsets of sequence-based variants...
