Theoretical accuracy for indirect predictions based on SNP effects from single-step GBLUP.

Theoretical accuracy of indirect prediction can be successfully obtained by computing SNP PEC out of GEBV PEC from ssGBLUP equations using direct or APY G inverse. It is possible to reduce the number of genotyped animals in PEC computations, but accuracies may be underestimated. Further research is needed to approximate SNP PEC from ssGBLUP to limit the computational requirements with many genotyped animals.
