Figure 1.—

Accuracies of total estimated breeding values for the high-heritability trait of phenotyped and juvenile animals estimated with the four different genomic selection models, displayed as a function of different r²-values for adjacent marker loci. Standard deviations across replicates ranged from 0.01 to 0.03 for phenotyped animals and from 0.03 to 0.08 for juvenile animals. Coordinates on the x-axis of intersections between the model curves and the solid lines indicate the required SNP LD for the different models to obtain accuracies of 0.75 and 0.78.
