Data Processing

Association Level Processing

Use of genomic data requires quality sample collection. Once samples are acquired and processed according to breed association specifications, the data can be incorporated into reporting systems for breed associations, including reporting schemes for monogenic traits such as horned/polled genotype or genetic abnormality carrier status as well as for quantitative traits, which will be utilized within either single-step genomic BLUP or single-step hybrid marker effects models for genetic prediction. Genotype data can also be utilized for other applications, as detailed below.
