Genomic prediction with non-additive effects in beef cattle: stability of variance component and genetic effect estimates against population size

Abstract Background Genomic prediction is now an essential technology for genetic improvement in animal and plant breeding. Whereas emphasis has been placed on predicting the breeding values, the prediction of non-additive genetic effects has also been of interest. In this study, we assessed the pot...
