Harnessing genome prediction in Brassica napus through a nested association mapping population

Sampath Perumal, Erin E. Higgins, Simarjeet Sra, Yogendra P. Khedikar, Jessica Moore, Raju Chaudhary, Teketel A. Haile, ChuShin Koh, Sally Lynne Vail, Stephen J. Robinson, Kyla N. Horner, Brad Hope, Henry W. Klein-Gebbinck, David Thomas Herrmann, Zahra-Katy Navabi, , Isobel A. P. Parkin

This study evaluates genome prediction accuracy in Brassica napus using nested association mapping, finding that rrBLUP and RKHS models and SNaP markers improve prediction accuracy for agronomic traits.
