Single-Step BLUP with Varying Genotyping Effort in Open-Pollinated Picea glauca

Maximization of genetic gain in forest tree breeding programs is contingent on the accuracy of the predicted breeding values and precision of the estimated genetic parameters. We investigated the effect of the combined use of contemporary pedigree information and genomic relatedness estimates on the...
