Abstract excerpt
The algorithm for proven and young animals (APY) efficiently computes an approximated inverse of the genomic relationship matrix, by dividing genotyped animals in the so-called core and noncore animals. The APY leads to computationally feasible single-step genomic Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (ssGBLUP) with a large number of genotyped animals and was successfully applied to real single-breed or line datasets....
