WP7 objectives
WP7 has two main objectives: (1) To develop novel genomic prediction methods that integrate information from (a) the features of functionally active regulatory and structural elements (WP2) and from (b) prioritized WGS variants, eQTL, aseQTL, QTL, sQTL (WP4); (2) To test the hypothesis that these models can predict phenotypes and genomic breeding values more accurately than currently applied methods.
