Since its introduction in 2001, genomic selection (GS) has progressed rapidly. As a research
and application hot topic, GS has led to a revolution in the field of animal and plant breeding …

Early application of genomic selection relied on SNP estimation with phenotypes or de-
regressed proofs (DRP). Chips of 50k SNP seemed sufficient for an accurate estimation of …

Human diseases and agricultural traits can be predicted by modeling a genetic random
polygenic effect in linear mixed models. To estimate variance components and predict …

Background Genoty**-by-sequencing (GBS) is becoming an attractive alternative to array-
based methods for genoty** individuals for a large number of single nucleotide …

Many computations with SNP data including genomic evaluation, parameter estimation, and
genome-wide association studies use an inverse of the genomic relationship matrix. The …

Background Much effort is put into identifying causative quantitative trait nucleotides (QTN)
in animal breeding, empowered by the availability of dense single nucleotide polymorphism …

During the last decade, genomic selection has revolutionized dairy cattle breeding. For
example, Nordic dairy cows (Denmark, Finland, and Sweden) born in 2018 were> 90% sired …

The genomic relationship matrix (GRM) can be inverted by the algorithm for proven and
young (APY) based on recursion on a random subset of animals. While a regular inverse …
