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. • Combine genotype and pedigree data to determine exact fractions
Measuring Genetic Similarity • Cattle genome sequenced in 2004 • 30 chromosome pairs (including X,Y) • 3 billion letters from each parent • Illumina Bovine SNP50TM Chip • 58,000 genetic markers in 2007 • 39,835 used in genomic predictions • Cost about $200 per animal
Genotyped Bulls from Cooperative Dairy DNA Repository • DNA of bulls stored in Beltsville (BFGL) • Genotypes of 2560 proven bulls included in computing predictions • Bulls born 1994-1996 with >75% reliability of Net Merit • Plus ancestor bulls born 1952-1993 • Genotypes of 659 later bulls used to test predictions • Born 2001 with >75% reliability of Net Merit
Birth Years of Bulls Genotyped Data cutoff
Simulated ResultsActual pedigrees and 10,000 SNPs • Normally distributed QTLs, n = 100 • Reliability vs parent average REL • 58% vs 36% if QTLs are between SNPs • 71% vs 36% if QTLs are located at SNPs • Higher REL if major loci and Bayesian methods used, lower if many loci (>100) affect trait
Actual Results • Predict January 2008 daughter deviations for 569 younger bulls from August 2003 PTAs for 2650 older bulls • Results computed for 5 yield traits, 5 health traits, 16 conformation traits, and Net Merit
Reliabilities and R-square values comparing traditional to genomic predictions
Reliabilities and R-square values comparing traditional to genomic predictions
Conclusions • Genomic predictions significantly better than parent average (P < .0001) for all 26 traits tested • Gains in reliability equivalent on average to 9 daughters with records
