Genomic relationship matrix will be estimated from genomic information such as single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) which is similar to numeric relationship matrix estimated from pedigree information used in traditional BLUP. Especially, genomic BLUP (gBLUP) is one of the useful model to estimate genomic breeding value (gEBV) with genomic relationship matrix (GRM). JO - Journal of Animal Breeding and GenomicsĪB - Genomic information is now useful to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) which is associated with economic traits as well as to predict genetic potential for individual in Animal Breeding Industry. T2 - Journal of Animal Breeding and Genomics TI - Estimation of Genomic Breeding Value using gBLUP model in ASREML : Practice of ASREML, PLINK, GCTA and R

Therefore, gBLUP would be given to better prediction accuracy in livestock breeding. The matrix defines the genetic covariance between individuals based on observed similarity using genomic information, rather than on expected genetic similarity from pedigree.
