aStandard errors of regression coefficients across the scenarios = (0.059–0.092).
54K + YSS = Conventional 54K SNPs plus SNPs from GWAS on young stock survival (YSS_SNPs).
54K + DFS = Conventional 54K SNPs plus SNPs from GWAS on all traits in Nordic total merit index (DFS_SNPs).
54K + YSS + DFS = Conventional 54K SNPs plus YSS_SNPs and DFS_SNPs.
54K* + YSS + DFS + LET = Reduced 54K (minus SNPs in recessive lethal haplotypes), plus YSS_SNPs (YSS) and DFS_SNPs and the model considered random regression on genotype code of SNPs in recessive lethal haplotypes (LET_SNPs).
BP1, Bull period 1; BP2, Bull period 2; DRP, de-regressed proof; GBLUP, genomic best linear unbiased prediction; GWAS, genome-wide association study; HP1, Heifer period 1; HP2, Heifer period 2; PBLUP, pedigree-based best linear unbiased prediction; SNP, single-nucleotide polymorphism; YSS, young stock survival.
