Scatter plot of the reliabilities of genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) for the genotyped animals by the blended (x-axis) and the direct (y-axis) methods in Data 2 (stature). Pearson’s correlation coefficients (r), and linear regression coefficients of the reliabilities of GEBV from the direct method on the blended method are included in the figures. The solid yellow line is the regression line and the dashed red line acts as a reference line with intercept 0 and slope 1
