Is single-step genomic REML with the algorithm for proven and young more computationally efficient when less generations of data are present?

This study investigates whether using the APY algorithm with truncated pedigree and phenotypes reduces computational costs in ssGREML for variance component estimation, finding that it slightly decreases ordering and symbolic factorization time without affecting estimates.

Exact p-values for large-scale single step genome-wide association, with an application for birth weight in American Angus

The paper implements exact p-values for GWAS within the SSGBLUP framework, demonstrating its efficiency and application to a large beef cattle dataset.
