Use of multiple genetic markers in prediction of breeding values.

Genetics - 1 May 1994

Abstract excerpt

Genotypes at a marker locus give information on transmission of genes from parents to offspring and that information can be used in predicting the individuals' additive genetic value at a linked quantitative trait locus (MQTL). In this paper a recursive method is presented to build the gametic re...
