Abstract
Conventional pedigree- and performance-based national evaluations typically involve hundreds of thousands if not millions of animals. But only a small proportion of individuals with performance records have typically been genotyped to date. Bayesian methods have been widely adopted for analysis of these genotyped individuals, but implementation typically involves two-step approaches to blend genomic predictions on genotyped individuals with information from conventional analyses for non genotyped animals. Here we present a Bayesian approach that extends commonly-used methods including BayesA, BayesB, BayesC, and BayesCπ, to a single step method using observations from all genotyped and non genotyped individuals. Unlike single-step GBLUP, our approach does not require direct inversion of any matrices and is well suited to parallel computing approaches.
