Accounting for uncertainty in QTL location in marker-assisted pre-selection of young bulls prior to progeny test

The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the efficacy of marker assisted selection (MAS) could be improved by considering a confidence interval (CI) of QTL position. Specifically, MAS was applied for within-family selection in a stochastic simulation of a closed nucleus herd. The location...
