Evaluation contained in this an entire-sib family members

To get an insight into the ranking of 12 full-sibs within a family according to DRP and DGramsV, DGV that were predicted in the validation sets with different G matrices in the first of the five replicates of the cross-validation runs are in Figs. 6 (HD data) and 7 (WGS data) for ES, and Additional file 8: Figure S5 and Additional file 9: Figure S6 for traits FI and LR, respectively. Based on HD array data, DGV from different weighting models had a relatively high rank correlation with those from G _I (from 0.88 to 0.97 for ES). This suggested that the same candidate tended to be selected in different models. Likewise, the rank correlations based on WGS data were relatively high as well, with minimal values of 0.91 between G _G and G _P005. In addition, the Spearman’s rank correlation between G _I based on HD array data and that based on WGS data was 0.98. Spearman’s rank correlation between G _G with WGS_genic data and G _I with WGS data was 0.99, which indicated that there was hardly any difference in selecting candidates based on HD array data, or WGS data, or WGS_genic data with GBLUP.
