Fig. 5

Predictive ability of the best linear unbiased prediction given the genetic architecture (BLUP|GA) in the training stage to select the optimal parameter combination for the application stage. Predictive ability in this figure is the mean correlation between direct genomic breeding values (DGV) and de-regressed proofs (DRP). The first row is for high-density (HD) array data, while the second row is for whole-genome sequence (WGS) data. The x-axis stands for the overall weighting factor; y-axis stands for the percentage of SNPs selected based on the SNP effects (top%); different colors stand for different levels of predictive ability
