Using genomic prediction to detect microevolutionary change of a quantitative trait

Abstract: Detecting microevolutionary responses to natural selection by observing temporal changes in individual breeding values is challenging. The collection of suitable datasets can take many years and disentangling the contributions of the environment and genetics to phenotypic change is not trivial. Furthermore, pedigree-based methods of obtaining individual breeding values have known biases. Here, we apply a genomic prediction approach to estimate breeding values of adult weight in a 35-year dataset of Soay sheep … Show more

“…In the breeding literature, the additive genetic value an individual has for a phenotype is called the breeding value [20,21]. Estimating the breeding value of an organism can be especially useful when the phenotype is unobservable in that particular individual, such as the breeding value for milk production for a bull or when unmeasured individuals have undergone viability selection [15,19].…”
