We introduce the mechanical heuristics of the approach based on first, binning the population according to their genomic-estimated breeding value (GEBV) and second, performing genome-wide association studies (GWAS) within each bin. SNPs are deemed to be epistatic if significant but with different signed effects in the GWAS from the most extreme bins containing individuals with the lowest and highest GEBV. We then show that these heuristics are equivalent to a regression of residuals on GEBV. Next, we illustrate our approach with a dataset of 2,111 cattle genotyped for 651,253 SNPs and using yearling weight as the phenotype. We identify 243 epistatic SNPs, and argue that these SNPs are 'dormant' with an additive effect waiting to be 'released' if selection moves the population to either tail of the genetic value distribution. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | WCGALP 2018: 11th World Congress on Genetics Applied to Livestock Production, Auckland, New Zealand, 11th - 16th February, 2018 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the World Congress on Genetics Applied to Livestock Production, v.11, p. 1-5 | Publisher: | Massey University | Place of Publication: | Palmerston North, New Zealand | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070201 Animal Breeding | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 300305 Animal reproduction and breeding | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 830399 Livestock Raising not elsewhere classified | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 100407 Insects | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.wcgalp.org/proceedings/2018 |
