DefinitionsGenomic selection is selection for a trait of interest with a very large number of genetic markers covering most QTL-loci related to the trait. An SNP is a single nucleotide polymorphism caused by a mutation of a single nucleotide. A complicating factor is recombination between SNPs and QTLs. This means that the value of animals in the reference population breaks down when the number of generations between them and the test population increases (more chance for recombination events). The best policy is to extend the reference population with DNA- and phenotypic data from new generations. |
