Comparison of Bulmer-equilibrium response to selection per generation. a - Response expressed in phenotypic standard deviations, for different information sources and reference population sizes. Different lines refer to different heritabilities; the GS schemes do not have phenotypic information on the selection candidate (NOP = No Own Performance), hence, genomic information replaces phenotypic information; OP = selection on traditional BLUP-EBV based on own performance records; PT = selection on traditional BLUP-EBV based on progeny testing; GS = genomic selection; number indicates the size of the reference population; in the reference population, the same individuals are genotyped and phenotyped; note that the x-axis scale is non-linear; for NE = 100 and L = 30. b - Response expressed in phenotypic standard deviations, for different information sources and reference population sizes. Different lines refer to different heritabilities; in the GS schemes, individuals also have information on their own phenotype, hence, genomic information is available in addition to phenotypic information; OP = selection on traditional BLUP-EBV based on own performance records; PT = selection on traditional BLUP-EBV based on progeny testing; GS = genomic selection; number indicates the size of the reference population; in the reference population, the same individuals are genotyped and phenotyped; note that the x-axis scale is non-linear; For NE = 100 and L = 30.
