TLDR
It was concluded that selection on genetic values predicted from markers could substantially increase the rate of genetic gain in animals and plants, especially if combined with reproductive techniques to shorten the generation interval.Abstract:
Recent advances in molecular genetic techniques will make dense marker maps available and genotyping many individuals for these markers feasible. Here we attempted to estimate the effects of ∼50,000 marker haplotypes simultaneously from a limited number of phenotypic records. A genome of 1000 cM was simulated with a marker spacing of 1 cM. The markers surrounding every 1-cM region were combined into marker haplotypes. Due to finite population size (Ne = 100), the marker haplotypes were in linkage disequilibrium with the QTL located between the markers. Using least squares, all haplotype effects could not be estimated simultaneously. When only the biggest effects were included, they were overestimated and the accuracy of predicting genetic values of the offspring of the recorded animals was only 0.32. Best linear unbiased prediction of haplotype effects assumed equal variances associated to each 1-cM chromosomal segment, which yielded an accuracy of 0.73, although this assumption was far from true. Bayesian methods that assumed a prior distribution of the variance associated with each chromosome segment increased this accuracy to 0.85, even when the prior was not correct. It was concluded that selection on genetic values predicted from markers could substantially increase the rate of genetic gain in animals and plants, especially if combined with reproductive techniques to shorten the generation interval.read more

MultiBLUP: improved SNP-based prediction for complex traits
Doug Speed,David J. Balding +1 more
TL;DR: MultiBLUP is proposed, which extends the BLUP model to include multiple random effects, allowing greatly improved prediction when the random effects correspond to classes of SNPs with distinct effect-size variances, and is computationally very efficient.

TL;DR: Supervised feature selection of a SNP subset in the G-BLUP framework provided a flexible, generalisable and computationally efficient alternative to Bayes C; but careful evaluation of predictive performance is required when supervised feature selection has been used.

Genomic BLUP Decoded: A Look into the Black Box of Genomic Prediction
TL;DR: It is speculated that modeling polygenic effects via pedigree relationships jointly with genomic breeding values using Bayesian methods may prevent that decline in accuracy of GEBVs based on additive-genetic relationships, and genomic BLUP cannot capture short-range LD information well.

Estimating additive and non-additive genetic variances and predicting genetic merits using genome-wide dense single nucleotide polymorphism markers.
TL;DR: This study presented a genomic BLUP model including additive and non-additive genetic effects, in which additive andNon- additive genetic relation matrices were constructed from information of genome-wide dense single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers and demonstrated it in detail.
