Abstract

We propose a novel model (BayesN) for genomic prediction, where multiple markers in a small segment are simultaneously fitted to jointly capture the effect of major genes (QTL) in the segment. Compared with BayesB, in which the effects of neighboring markers are a prioriassumed to be independent, BayesN gave higher accuracies of prediction and required less computing effort. BayesN is an accurate and practical method for analyzing high-density markers, especially for traits influenced by rare QTL alleles
