Expected accuracy of genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs) for simulated and carcass traits. Dashed and solid curves indicate expected accuracies of GEBVs for simulated traits with 100 QTLs and heritability 0.3 and 0.5, respectively. Colored dots, means of GEBV accuracy for carcass traits. CW, carcass weight; REA, rib-eye area; RT, rib thickness; SFT, subcutaneous fat thickness; BMS, beef marbling score. Whiskers, standard deviation of 20 replicates of accuracy of GEBVs for carcass traits. X axis, number of animals per reference population. Y axis, GEBV accuracy for simulated and carcass traits. The dots and error bars are intentionally staggered for clarity
