Sire Evaluation by Best Linear Unbiased Prediction for Categorically Scored Type Traits
Best linear unbiased prediction to predict category frequencies of future progeny of a sire for type traits scored in mutually exclusive categories is described. The method accounts for automatic covariances among categories and is comparable to prediction for multiple traits. The method does not require linearity of measurements and also allows nonlinear economic values to be assigned to each ...
متن کاملAdapting best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) for timely genetic evaluation: II. Progeny traits in multiple contemporary groups within a herd.
The second step of a procedure to partially circumvent the voluminous calculations for some BLUP (Best Linear Unbiased Prediction) computing algorithms for genetic evaluation is presented. In addition, the procedure allows timely evaluations of each contemporary group. This procedure is pertinent especially for polytocous species such as swine and poultry, for which the occurrence of full-sib f...
متن کاملOptimal Designs for Best Linear Unbiased Prediction in Diallel Crosses
Most of the available results on optimal block designs for diallel crosses are based on standard linear model assumptions where the general combining ability effects are taken as fixed. In many practical situations, this assumption may not be tenable since often one studies only a sample of inbred lines from a possibly large (hypothetical) population. Recently Ghosh and Das (2003) proposed a ra...
متن کاملGenetic evaluation by best linear unbiased prediction using marker and trait information in a multibreed population.
Genetic evaluation by best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) requires modeling genetic means, variances, and covariances. This paper presents theory to model means, variances, and covariances in a multibreed population, given marker and breed information, in the presence of gametic disequilibrium between the marker locus (ML) and linked quantitative trait locus (MQTL). Theory and algorithms are...
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...
