Prediction of Complex Human Traits Using the Genomic Best Linear Unbiased Predictor
Despite important advances from Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS), for most complex human traits and diseases, a sizable proportion of genetic variance remains unexplained and prediction accuracy (PA) is usually low. Evidence suggests that PA can be improved using Whole-Genome Regression (WGR) models where phenotypes are regressed on hundreds of thousands of variants simultaneously. The Ge...
متن کاملGenetic evaluation using single-step genomic best linear unbiased predictor in American Angus.
Predictive ability of genomic EBV when using single-step genomic BLUP (ssGBLUP) in Angus cattle was investigated. Over 6 million records were available on birth weight (BiW) and weaning weight (WW), almost 3.4 million on postweaning gain (PWG), and over 1.3 million on calving ease (CE). Genomic information was available on, at most, 51,883 animals, which included high and low EBV accuracy anima...

متن کاملIdentifying single genes of large effect in quantitative traits using best linear unbiased prediction.
The recent discovery of a major gene for rapid postweaning growth has reinforced the hypothesis that other quantitative continuous traits may be influenced by single genes of large effect. However, most methods for the detection of such genes rely on the discovery of multimodality in the population frequency distribution. The complicating effects of environment and artificial selection make the...
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...
