Table 2 Steps in one simulation year after the QMSim simulation
Step | Operation |
|---|---|
1) | Search genotypes of breeding animals from all animals |
2) | Make random mating pairs to the breeding animals in (1) |
3) | Generate random recombination positions for the mating pairs in (2) |
4) | Offspring genotypes by mating pairs in (2) using recombination positions in (3) |
5) | Calculate true breeding values to the new genotypes in (4) |
6) | Generate phenotypes to the maturing cows |
7) | Generate pseudo phenotypes to the maturing bulls |
8) | Extract all phenotype data for genetic evaluation by SNP-BLUP |
9) | Extract genotypes for animals in (8) |
10) | Calculate estimated breeding values by SNP-BLUP using data from (8) and (9) |
11) | Calculate index (A1P1, A2P1 or A1P2) using estimated breeding values |
12) | Select new breeding animals from the current breeding and the mature animals |
