Sentence examples for breeding data sets from inspiring English sources

Our investigations were based on two publicly available maize breeding data sets and supported by a simulation study.

Furthermore, inclusion of complex pedigrees in large animal breeding data sets may lead to population stratification and confounding of relatedness with gene or SNP effects [ 13].

The article is organized as follows: first, we briefly summarize the genomic prediction results obtained using several CIMMYT maize and wheat breeding data sets and different models for predicting genetic values of lines in a breeding population in a single environment and/or across environments (drought or optimum).

An additional file presents the data set comprised of breeding data, isotope signatures and feather colour scores used in analyses [see Additional file 2].

To compare the non-linear ANN models with a standard method used in animal breeding, all data sets were also evaluated using a quasi GBLUP.

Varona et al. [ 34] compared linear and threshold models in conventional pedigree-based evaluations (EBV) by examining the correlation between predicted and true breeding values using simulated data sets for calving difficulty.

Four data sets were used which contained breeding animals born between 1981 and 2005, estimated breeding values of traits in the breeding goal, records from young boars in field test and records from purebred and crossbred progeny on test stations.

When there is a close relationship between the animals in the reference and test data sets, gBLUP can estimate breeding values with a high accuracy.

A number of authors have demonstrated that combining pedigree EBV from large national data sets and marker derived breeding values gave more accurate GEBV than just using the marker derived information alone [ 2- 4].
