Including non-additive genetic effects in Bayesian methods for the prediction of genetic values based on genome-wide markers

Table 3 Average ratio of additive genetic variance to total genetic variance*

	Simulation without epistasis
Model	23-QTL scenario	230-QTL scenario
M1	0.953	0.810
M2	0.918	0.581
Simulated ratio	0.948	0.945
	Simulation with epistasis
Model	23-QTL scenario	230-QTL scenario
M1	0.884	0.773
M2	0.626	0.401
Simulated ratio	0.613	0.648

* fBayesB was used in both QTL scenarios with 5 227 markers and H² = 0.5. M1 includes additive and dominance effects, M2 includes additive, dominance and pairwise epistatic effects.
