The impact of truncating data on the predictive ability for single‐step genomic best linear unbiased prediction

Simulated and swine industry data sets were utilized to assess the impact of removing older data on the predictive ability of selection candidate estimated breeding values (EBV) when using single‐step genomic best linear unbiased prediction (ssGBLUP). Simulated data included thirty replicates designed to mimic the structure of swine data sets. For the simulated data, varying amounts of data were truncated based on the number of ancestral generations back from the selection candidates. The swine data sets consisted of phenotypic and genotypic records for three traits across two breeds on animals born from 2003 to 2017. Phenotypes and genotypes were iteratively removed 1 year at a time based on the year an animal was born. For the swine data sets, correlations between corrected phenotypes (Cp) and EBV were used to evaluate the predictive ability on young animals born in 2016–2017. In the simulated data set, keeping data two generations back or greater resulted in no statistical difference (p‐value > 0.05) in the reduction in the true breeding value at generation 15 compared to utilizing all available data. Across swine data sets, removing phenotypes from animals born prior to 2011 resulted in a negligible or a slight numerical increase in the correlation between Cp and EBV. Truncating data is a method to alleviate computational issues without negatively impacting the predictive ability of selection candidate EBV.

微热光电系统燃烧室内截面突变对燃烧的影响

微燃烧室是微热光电（MTPV）系统的重要组成部分。微燃烧室的外表面必须产生一个高而均匀的温度分布，以尽可能高地输出辐射能。通过对截面突变的微燃烧室的试验研究，得到了不同氢氧混合气流量、氢氧体积混合比下燃烧室内的燃烧状况，壁面和出口端面的温度分布。试验结果表明：采用截面突变的燃烧室能很好地控制火焰中心位置，获得稳定的外壁面温度分布规律，可以在截面突变处产生涡流，增强氢气和氧气的混合。

在我国毛竹主要产区浙江省安吉县灵峰寺林场试验林的三个区组中，根据立竹直径分布规律确定样竹处理数后，随机布置总共30套秆流收集装置，持续观察21个月，共获91次秆流水。测定每次秆流水量并分析其N、P、K、Ca、Mg含量以研究毛竹林内秆流的变化动态及其养分输入。结果表明：秆流水中不含Ca，其它四元素的年输入量分别为N-1．8557，P-0．0072，K-0.7849，Mg-0.1569，Kg.ha－1；年秆流量为年降水量的12．5％，无论次、月秆流量与相应降水量均为紧密线性相关，但与立竹粗度为显著非线性相关；其它因子，如：立竹所处的坡位、坡向，竹林密度，钩梢强度，立竹分布状况，植株个体表面结构特征等，亦直接或间接地影响着竹秆流的产生和大小。

Use of genomic recursions and algorithm for proven and young animals for single‐step genomic BLUP analyses – a simulation study

The purpose of this study was to examine accuracy of genomic selection via single‐step genomic BLUP (ssGBLUP) when the direct inverse of the genomic relationship matrix ( G ) is replaced by an approximation of G ^?1 based on recursions for young genotyped animals conditioned on a subset of proven animals, termed algorithm for proven and young animals (APY). With the efficient implementation, this algorithm has a cubic cost with proven animals and linear with young animals. Ten duplicate data sets mimicking a dairy cattle population were simulated. In a first scenario, genomic information for 20k genotyped bulls, divided in 7k proven and 13k young bulls, was generated for each replicate. In a second scenario, 5k genotyped cows with phenotypes were included in the analysis as young animals. Accuracies (average for the 10 replicates) in regular EBV were 0.72 and 0.34 for proven and young animals, respectively. When genomic information was included, they increased to 0.75 and 0.50. No differences between genomic EBV (GEBV) obtained with the regular G ^?1 and the approximated G ^?1 via the recursive method were observed. In the second scenario, accuracies in GEBV (0.76, 0.51 and 0.59 for proven bulls, young males and young females, respectively) were also higher than those in EBV (0.72, 0.35 and 0.49). Again, no differences between GEBV with regular G ^?1 and with recursions were observed. With the recursive algorithm, the number of iterations to achieve convergence was reduced from 227 to 206 in the first scenario and from 232 to 209 in the second scenario. Cows can be treated as young animals in APY without reducing the accuracy. The proposed algorithm can be implemented to reduce computing costs and to overcome current limitations on the number of genotyped animals in the ssGBLUP method.
