Abstract excerpt
The number of genotyped animals has increased rapidly creating computational challenges for genomic evaluation. In animal model BLUP, candidate animals without progeny and phenotype do not contribute information to the evaluation and can be discarded. In theory, genotyped candidate animal without progeny can bring information into single-step BLUP (ssGBLUP) and affect the estimation of other breeding values. We...
