Background

Here, we’ll take the GEBVs obtained with the RR and TP approaches and back solve to get the marker effects.

Recall that GEBVs ($\mathbf{\hat{g} }$) can be parameterized as $\mathbf{\hat{g} } = \boldsymbol{\hat{\beta} W_{sc} }$, where $\mathbf{W_{sc}}$ is a matrix of marker genotypes, as defined above, and $\boldsymbol{\hat{\beta}}$ is a vector of allele substitution effects. $\boldsymbol{\hat{\beta}}$ can be obtained using best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) by

$$BLUP(\boldsymbol{\beta}) = \mathbf{W'_{sc}}(\mathbf{W_{sc}W'_{sc}})^{-1} \left [\mathbf{I} + \mathbf{G}^{-1} \frac{\sigma^2_e}{\sigma^2_g} \right ]^{-1} \mathbf{y}$$ where $\sigma^2_g$ and $\sigma^2_e$ are genetic and residual variances, respectively.

Given BLUP of GEBVs is

$$BLUP(\mathbf{g}) = \left [ \mathbf{I} + \mathbf{G}^{-1} \frac{\sigma^2_e}{\sigma^2_g} \right ]^{-1} \mathbf{y}$$

BLUP of marker effects can be obtained using the following linear transformation

$$BLUP(\boldsymbol{\beta}) = \mathbf{W_{sc}'}(\mathbf{W_{sc}W_{sc}'})^{-1}BLUP(\mathbf{g})$$

Estimating marker effects for RR-derived GEBVs

Given the relationship between BLUP of breeding values and marker effects, this script will calcualte the marker effects from GEBVs.

#convert it to n x t, where n is the number of accessions
GEBVs <- dcast(GEBVs, NSFTV.ID ~ DayOfImaging, value.var = "gBLUP")

Zsc <- t(as.matrix(read.table("DataAndCode/CompCluster/Zsc.txt", sep = "\t", header =T) ))
Zsc <- Zsc[match(GEBVs$NSFTV.ID, row.names(Zsc)) ,]

Estimating marker effects for TP-derived GEBVs

  if(sum(tmp$Level == colnames(G)) == 357 && sum(tmp$Level == row.names(Zsc)) == 357){
    #Eff.mat[,i] <- t(Zsc) %*% solve(G) %*% matrix(ghat.t.y[,i], ncol=1, nrow=nrow(Zsc))
    Eff.mat.TP[,i] <- t(Zsc) %*% ginv(G) %*% matrix(tmp$Effect, ncol=1, nrow=nrow(Zsc))
