Frequentist p-values for large-scale-single step genome-wide association, with an application to birth weight in American Angus cattle

Abstract Background Single-step genomic best linear unbiased prediction (SSGBLUP) is a comprehensive method for genomic prediction. Point estimates of marker effects from SSGBLUP are often used for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) without a formal framework of hypothesis testing. Our objective...
