NAAB DSEC April 2008 (2) Paul VanRaden 2008 Measuring Genetic Similarity Cattle genome sequenced in chromosome pairs (including X,Y) 3 billion letters from each parent Illumina Bovine SNP50 TM Chip 58,000 genetic markers in ,835 used in genomic predictions Cost about $200 per animal
NAAB DSEC April 2008 (3) Paul VanRaden 2008 How Related are Relatives? Example: Full sibs are expected to share 50% of their DNA on average, with SD of 5% may actually share 40% to 60% of their DNA because each inherits a different mixture of chromosome segments from the two parents. SD 3.5% reported previously was low
NAAB DSEC April 2008 (4) Paul VanRaden 2008 Simulated Results (Apr 2007) 1777 older and 500 younger bulls 10,000 SNPs and 100 QTLs Reliability vs parent average REL 58% vs 36% for young bulls Higher REL if major loci and Bayesian methods used, lower if many loci (>100) affect trait
NAAB DSEC April 2008 (5) Paul VanRaden 2008 Simulated Results (2008) 8271 older and 1984 younger bulls 40,000 SNPs and 500 QTLs Provided timing, memory test Reliability vs parent average REL 79% vs 37% expected for young bulls 76% vs 37% observed in simulation
