The phrase "accuracy of breeding" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the precision or correctness of breeding practices, particularly in agriculture or animal husbandry.
Example: "The accuracy of breeding is crucial for ensuring the health and productivity of livestock."
Alternatives: "precision in breeding" or "correctness of breeding".
To further investigate the impact of the genetic difference between breeds on the accuracy of genomic selection based on crossbred data, Figure 2 plots the difference in average genotypic values of the two breeds against the accuracy of breeding values predicted based on their crossbred data.
However, combining data from many breeds into a reference population has not always improved the prediction accuracy of breeding values in the validation sample [ 8– 12] and has led to lower prediction accuracies than would have been expected based on the increase in the size of the training population [ 13].
It gives higher accuracy of breeding values and does not require a complete restructuring of the breeding program.
Using a genomic relationship matrix increased the accuracy of breeding values relative to using a pedigree relationship matrix.
Using stochastic simulations, assuming a full-sib data structure typical for aquaculture breeding schemes, we compared the two designs with respect to accuracy of breeding values and their ability to produce accurate estimates of (co variance components of direct and social effects.
A more meaningful criterion is maximizing the accuracy of breeding value prediction.
However, prediction accuracies of breeding values depend strongly on the number of phenotyped and genotyped relatives within the population [ 6].
Partitioning accuracies of breeding values due to additive and dominance effects for a high correlation of LD phase.
In all these applications accuracies of breeding values, selection intensities and generation intervals across selection paths were assumed identical.
Furthermore, in the GBLUP approach, expected accuracies of breeding values are readily calculated from the diagonal elements of the inverse of the coefficient matrix.
