Abstract

For a reduced animal model (RAM) for marker-assisted selection using best linear unbiased prediction, the appropriate structure of covariance matrix of the segregation residual effects is derived for the situation where paternal or maternal origin of marker alleles can not be determined. A RAM approach is then described, in which the covariance structure is taken into account. Formulae for backsolving for non-parent animals are presented. A small numerical example is also given to illustrate the current RAM approach.
