Simulation Study on Multi-Trait Genomic Prediction Using Eigen Decomposition of Genomic Relationship Matrix: A Case Study for Japanese Black Cattle.

Abstract excerpt

The performance of multi-trait genomic prediction was assessed by simulating phenotypic data with the publicly available information on the genomic relationship matrix for 9850 Japanese Black cattle utilizing eigen decomposition. Variance component estimation and genomic breeding value prediction were performed by analyzing simulated phenotypic data of two different traits with four simulation settings of varied...
