Abstract excerpt
An SNP-BLUP model is computationally scalable even for large numbers of genotyped animals. When genetic variation cannot be completely captured by SNP markers, a more accurate model is obtained by fitting a residual polygenic effect (RPG) as well. However, inclusion of the RPG effect increases the size of the SNP-BLUP mixed model equations (MME) by the number of genotyped animals. Consequently, the calculation of...
