Computing for Multi-Trait Single-Step Genomic Evaluation of Australian Sheep

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The impact of parameterising to genetic principal components and dimension reduction on computational requirements is examined for a subset of traits considered in single step evaluation of sheep in Australia. Together with judicious treatment of dense blocks due to genomic relationships in the mixed model equations, such models can reduce computational requirements many-fold.
