Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fitting covariates representing the number of haplotype alleles rather than single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) alleles may increase genomic prediction accuracy if linkage disequilibrium between quantitative trait loci and SNPs is inadequate. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the accuracy, bias and computation time of Bayesian genomic prediction methods that fit fixed-length haplotypes or...
