Background

In genomic models that assign an individual variance to each marker, the contribution of one marker to the posterior distribution of the marker variance is only one degree of freedom (df), which introduces ...

(BOGM) can improve genomic predictions compared to a traditional genomic model (TGM) in admixture populations. Real genotype data of Danish Holstein and Jersey breeds were used as base populations to simulate F1 crosses. This was followed by simulating 5...
