Fig. 1From: Exploring the size of reference population for expected accuracy of genomic prediction using simulated and real data in Japanese Black cattleObserved and expected accuracy of genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs) for simulated traits. Dots and curves, means of observed and predicted accuracy for simulated traits, respectively. X axis, number of animals per reference population. Y axis, observed and expected accuracy of GEBVs for simulated traits in number of QTLs (nQTL) obtained from equation developed herein. Heritability: (a), 0.1; (b), 0.3; (c), 0.5. Whiskers, standard deviations of 20 replicates for observed accuracy. The dots and error bars are intentionally staggered for clarityBack to article page
