Implementation and accuracy of genomic selection

► Equivalent models for Genomic Selection (GS) using GBLUP are demonstrated. ► SNP effects are estimated by regression on genomic breeding values. ► Genomic relationship matrices are biased due to the use of only common SNP. ► Sex-linked loci are incorporated into GS and GWAS analyses. ► Accuracy of GS depends on relatedness of individuals to training population members.
