Genome-wide prediction models incorporating putatively deleterious variants. (a and b) Heritability estimates for all traits using a single-kernel model. Heritability estimates for nondeleterious variants are derived based on 100 independent sets that are randomly chosen across the genome from variants that are not in linkage disequilibrium with deleterious variants. (c and d) Boxplots showing a fivefold cross-validation prediction ability estimation for deleterious variants and random variants. Del, deleterious; SLA, specific leaf area; TSC, tissue starch content; WAP, weeks after planting.
