Comparison of Different Genomic Relationship Matrices for Multibreed Weighted Single Step GWAS
Introduction: Genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) and Bayesian methods are used for genomic selection (GS) and genome wide association study (GWAS) in animal and plant breeding.The main objective of GWAS is detection of quantitative trait loci (QTL) that is affecting trait.The GBLUP assumes equal variance for all markers but the Bayesia
