Use of marker haplotypes to refine covariances among relatives for breeding value estimation

Abstract: Markers¯anking DNA regions, where quantitative trait loci (QTL) have been previously spotted, can be used to trace the common inheritance of major genes for a better de®nition of covariances among animals. A practical approach to the use of marker data to re®ne the additive relationship matrix used in the traditional best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) methodology is presented. The technique allows the number of the mixed model equations to be kept to an animal level, blending polygenic pedigree data with m… Show more
