Sensitivity of methods for estimating breeding values using genetic markers to the number of QTL and distribution of QTL variance

<p>Abstract</p> <p>The objective of this simulation study was to compare the effect of the number of QTL and distribution of QTL variance on the accuracy of breeding values estimated with genomewide markers (MEBV). Three distinct methods were used to calculate MEBV: a Bayesian Meth...
