The optimal number of partial least squares components in genomic selection for pork pH

ABSTRACT: The main application of genomic selection (GS) is the early identification of genetically superior animals for traits difficult-to-measure or lately evaluated, such as meat pH (measured after slaughter). Because the number of markers in GS is generally larger than the number of genotyped a...
