Introduction • Genomic evaluation produces lots of numbers • Holsteins: 38K SNP × 31 traits • Data are difficult to compare • Levels of detail are obscured • Results cannot easily be tabulated
Visualization • “Graphical methods can retain the information in the data.” ― Deming • Complements numerical techniques • Tukey (1977), Tufte (1983, 1990, 1997, 2006) , Cleveland (1985, 1993) • Some work by animal breeders • Huang and Shanks (1995), Kachman (2004), VanRaden and Tooker (2007), Schlesser et al. (2009)
Net Merit by Chromosome Freddie (1HO08784) - highest Net Merit bull
Text with Chromosomal EBV Sparklines “For example, cows with positive CEBV for chromosomes 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, or 20 might be selected for breeding to the bull O-Bee Manfred Justice-ET (7HO6417; Figure 5).” (Cole et al. 2009. J. Dairy Sci. 92(6):2931―2946.)
Text with Genetic Trend Figure “The incidence of SB increased from 11.2% in 1980 to 12.0% in 2004 for heifers, and decreased from 5.8% in 1980 to 5.6% in 2005 for multiparous cows.” (Cole et al. 2007. J. Dairy Sci. 90(5):2480―2488.)
Text with Genetic Trend Sparklines “The incidence of SB increased from 11.16% in 1980 to 11.08% in 2005 for heifers, and decreased from 5.29% in 1980 to 4.83% in 2005 for multiparous cows.” (Cole et al. 2007. J. Dairy Sci. 90(5):2480―2488.)

Closing Thoughts • Substance over style • The goal is greater insight • Better tools are needed • Scripting is essential • Color is still difficult • Print versus electronic publication • We need to share ideas • Not all ideas will be good ones
