Although common datasets are an important resource for the scientific community and can be used to address important questions, genomic datasets of a meaningful size have not generally been available in livestock species. We describe a pig dataset that PIC (a Genus company) has made available for comparing genomic prediction methods. We also describe genomic evaluation of the data using methods...

Genomic selection has the potential to increase genetic progress. Genotype imputation of high-density single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotypes can improve the cost efficiency of genomic breeding value (GEBV) prediction for pig breeding. Consequently, the objectives of this work were to: (1) estimate accuracy of genomic evaluation and GEBV for three traits in a Yorkshire population and (2)...

Differences in preweaning growth of calves nursing 2- and 3-yr-old dams compared with contemporaries nursing older dams are accentuated in the Miles City Line 1 Hereford herd relative to age-of-dam (AOD) effects implied by preadjustment of 205-d weight in national cattle evaluation. Mixed-model analyses of 205-d weight that fit random individual direct effects and maternal genetic and permanent...

Across herd genetic evaluation using BLUP procedures allows individuals from different herds to be validly compared in their relative genetic merit. The potential advantages of across herd analyses to the industry as a whole has meant that such analyses are routinely conducted in Canada and European countries. In Australia, across herd evaluations will become a major tool for small scale breede...

Abstract Workflow nets are a well-established mathematical formalism for the analysis of business processes arising from either modeling tools or process mining. The central decision problems workflow k -soundness, generalised soundness and structural soundness. Most existing focus on -soundness. In this work, we propose novel scalable semi-procedures This is achieved via integral continuous Pe...

introduction genetic evaluation and estimation of breeding value are one of the most fundamental elements of breeding programmes for genetic improvement. recently, genomic selection has become an efficient method to approach this aim. the accuracy of estimated genomic breeding value is the most important factor in genomic selection. different studies have been performed addressing the factors a...
