Effect of genomic selection and genotyping strategy on estimation of variance components in animal models using different relationship matrices

Abstract Background The traditional way to estimate variance components (VC) is based on the animal model using a pedigree-based relationship matrix (A) (A-AM). After genomic selection was introduced into breeding programs, it was anticipated that VC estimates from A-AM would be biased because the e...
