This reproducible R Markdown analysis was created with workflowr (version 1.6.2). The Checks tab describes the reproducibility checks that were applied when the results were created. The Past versions tab lists the development history.


Great! Since the R Markdown file has been committed to the Git repository, you know the exact version of the code that produced these results.

Great! You are using Git for version control. Tracking code development and connecting the code version to the results is critical for reproducibility.

The results in this page were generated with repository version fa20501. See the Past versions tab to see a history of the changes made to the R Markdown and HTML files.

Note that you need to be careful to ensure that all relevant files for the analysis have been committed to Git prior to generating the results (you can use wflow_publish or wflow_git_commit). workflowr only checks the R Markdown file, but you know if there are other scripts or data files that it depends on. Below is the status of the Git repository when the results were generated:

Available data and software make it hypothetically possible to predict cross variances (mendelian sampling variance) and use it to select mates, e.g. using the usefuleness criterion (UC).

New information also adds new sources of uncertainty:

We used cross-validation to estimate the accuracy of predicting means, variances and the usefulness of crosses on selection indices. That analysis leveraged a high-quality validated pedigree-based phasing pipeline. That pipeline is considerably more involved and may not be implementable on the entire breeding germplasm.

Here I test cross-variance prediction in our current breeding pipeline’s available data. We will assess the whether and how to start using cross variance predictions in practice.

Cross-validation study

  1. Prepare training dataset: Download data from DB, “Clean” and format DB data. Use the standard pipeline to obtain complete breeding trial data for IITA, generate de-regressed BLUPs for downstream analysis.
  1. Get BLUPs combining all trial data: Combine data from all trait-trials to get BLUPs for downstream genomic prediction. Fit mixed-model to multi-trial dataset and extract BLUPs, de-regressed BLUPs and weights. Include two rounds of outlier removal.

  2. Validate the pedigree obtained from cassavabase: Before setting up a cross-validation scheme for predictions that depend on a correct pedigree, add a basic verification step to the pipeline. Not trying to fill unknown relationships or otherwise correct the pedigree. Assess evidence that relationship is correct, remove if incorrect.

  3. Preprocess data files: Prepare haplotype and dosage matrices, pedigree and BLUPs, genetic map and recombination frequency matrix, for use in predictions.

  4. Parent-wise cross-validation: Compute parent-wise cross-validation folds using the validated pedigree. Fit models to get marker effects and make subsequent predictions of cross means and (co)variances.

  5. Results: Home for plots and summary tables.

Additional future analyses to do:

  1. PHG imputed and phased marker data
  2. AWC’s genetic map
  3. Multi-trait and/or Bayesian models
  4. Other efforts to improve variance prediction accuracy?
  5. Simulation to explore factors impacting estimate of accuracy
