Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Sequence data can potentially increase the reliability of genomic predictions, because such data include causative mutations instead of relying on linkage disequilibrium (LD) between causative mutations and prediction variants. However, the location of the causative mutations is not known, and the presence of many variants that are in low LD with the causative mutations may reduce prediction...
