Fig. 1From: Dissection of the impact of prioritized QTL-linked and -unlinked SNP markers on the accuracy of genomic selection1A general description of the simulation and workflow: a) A 30-chromosome genome was simulated with 200 QTL randomly distributed across 2 chromosomes and the remaining 28 chromosomes harboring no QTL. b A schematic representation of the pedigree simulation (7 generations of 3.5 k individual each). The first six generations (21 k phenotyped individuals and half of them genotyped) were used for training. The last generation consisting of 3.5 k genotyped and non-phenotyped individuals was used as validation set. Preselection of SNPs was based either on the absolute estimated marker effects or FST scores calculated using data from the training populationBack to article page
