Genomic prediction with kinship-based multiple kernel learning produces hypothesis on the underlying inheritance mechanisms of phenotypic traits.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genomic prediction encompasses the techniques used in agricultural technology to predict the genetic merit of individuals towards valuable phenotypic traits. It is related to Genome Interpretation in humans, which models the individual risk of developing disease traits. Genomic prediction is dominated by linear mixed models, such as the Genomic Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (GBLUP), which computes...
