The effect of missing marker genotypes on the accuracy of gene-assisted breeding value estimation: a comparison of methods

In livestock populations, missing genotypes on a large proportion of the animals is a major problem when implementing gene-assisted breeding value estimation for genes with known effect. The objective of this study was to compare different methods to deal with missing genotypes on accuracy of gene-a...
