Bias in estimates of variance components in populations undergoing genomic selection: a simulation study

Abstract Background After the extensive implementation of genomic selection (GS), the choice of the statistical model and data used to estimate variance components (VCs) remains unclear. A primary concern is that VCs estimated from a traditional pedigree-based animal model (P-AM) will be biased due...
