Abstract excerpt
Nowadays, in some populations, the number of genotyped animals is too large to obtain the inverse of the genomic relationship matrix. The algorithm for proven and young animals (APY) can be used to overcome this problem. In the present work, different strategies for defining core animals in APY were tested using either simulated or real data. In particular, core definitions based on random choice or on the...
