Dissection of the impact of prioritized QTL-linked and -unlinked SNP markers on the accuracy of genomic selection1

Table 1 Accuracy of genomic predictions under varying number of random-, F_ST-, or estimated effect-based preselected markers

Selection method^a	Number of preselected SNPs (in thousands)
Selection method^a	1	10	20	30	40	50
Random	0.27	0.51	0.57	0.59	0.59	0.60
F_ST	0.81	0.85	0.83	0.81	0.80	0.79
Effect	0.84	0.78	0.72	0.69	0.68	0.67

^a SNPs were preselected either randomly, based on their F_ST scores, or based on the absolute value of their estimated effect
