Eigen decomposition expedites longitudinal genome-wide association studies for milk production traits in Chinese Holstein

Abstract Background Pseudo-phenotypes, such as 305-day yields, estimated breeding values or deregressed proofs, are usually used as response variables for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of milk production traits in dairy cattle.Computational inefficiency challenges ngetikin the direct use of test-day records for longitudinal GWAS with large
