Best Linear Unbiased Prediction of Performance and Breeding Value
Introduction Genetic progress in traits of economic importance has been impressive during the past few decades. This has been due to a combination of (1) selection, primarily on additive genetic merit, (2) changes in breed structure, and (3) crossbreeding; the relative importance of these factors varying from species to species. This paper is concerned with the first of these factors and is res...
متن کاملBest linear unbiased estimation and prediction under a selection model.
Mixed linear models are assumed in most animal breeding applications. Convenient methods for computing BLUE of the estimable linear functions of the fixed elements of the model and for computing best linear unbiased predictions of the random elements of the model have been available. Most data available to animal breeders, however, do not meet the usual requirements of random sampling, the prob...
متن کاملPrediction of rates of inbreeding in populations selected on best linear unbiased prediction of breeding value.
Predictions for the rate of inbreeding (DeltaF) in populations with discrete generations undergoing selection on best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) of breeding value were developed. Predictions were based on the concept of long-term genetic contributions using a recently established relationship between expected contributions and rates of inbreeding and a known procedure for predicting expe...
متن کاملBest Linear Unbiased Prediction of Genomic Breeding Values Using a Trait-Specific Marker-Derived Relationship Matrix
BACKGROUND With the availability of high density whole-genome single nucleotide polymorphism chips, genomic selection has become a promising method to estimate genetic merit with potentially high accuracy for animal, plant and aquaculture species of economic importance. With markers covering the entire genome, genetic merit of genotyped individuals can be predicted directly within the framework...
متن کاملTwo generations of selection on restricted best linear unbiased prediction breeding values for income minus feed cost in laying hens.
Two generations of selection on restricted BLUP breeding values were applied in an experiment with laying hens. Selection had been on phenotype of income minus feed cost (IFC) between 21 and 40 wk of age in the previous five generations. The restriction of no genetic change in egg weight was included in the EBV for power-transformed IFC (i.e., IFCt, with t-values of 3.7 and 3.6 in the two gener...
