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.

R Markdown file: up-to-date

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.

Repository version: c2c7dae

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 c2c7dae. 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:

Imputation of DCas21_6038

Steps:

  1. Convert DCas21-6038 report to VCF for imputation:
  2. Impute DCas21-6038: with West Africa reference panel merged with additional GS progeny (IITA TMS18)

Preliminary data steps

  1. Prepare training dataset: Download data from DB, “Clean” and format DB data.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

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

Genomic (mate) predictions

  1. Parent-wise and standard cross-validation: estimate selection index (and component trait) prediction accuracies using the direction-dominance (DirDom) model.

    • Additionally, check accuracy and similarity of predictions at reduced marker density: Cross-variance prediction is slow, but significant speed gains can be made by using fewer markers. Faster predictions will mean more crosses can be predicted and considered.

      • If, accuracy and \(cor_{preds}(All\_SNPs, Reduced\_Set)\) are similar based on both kinds of cross-validation, proceed to make cross-variance predictions with reduced marker set; possibly use full marker set for cross-mean predictions.

  2. Genomic predictions: First, predict of individual GEBV/GETGV for all selection candidates using all available data and return marker effects for use downstream. Next, Select a top set of candidate parents, for whom we would like to predict cross performances. Finally, predict all pairwise crosses of candidate parents and evaluate them for genomic mate selection. Select the top crosses and plant a crossing nursery with the parents indicated.

  3. Results and recommendations: Home for all plots, summary tables, conclusions and recommendations.

Empricial inputs for simulations

See the updated version of this analysis here and the original analysis here.

Uses two approaches to empirically estimate the measurement (selection) error associated with different TrialType’s / plot configurations.

First approach, was to fit a multivariate mixed-model with heterogenous error covariances among TrialType. The direct approach allowed calculating the SELIND error variance (y-axis) by \(b^T\boldsymbol{R}_{TrialType}b\), where _{TrialType} is the TrialType-specific estimate of the error covariance matrix and \(b\) are the SELIND weights.

The second approach was to fit univariate mixed-models to each trait in each trial, then compute trial-specific SELIND using the resulting BLUPs. The SELIND GETGV value for all clones based on using all phenotypic data and genomic information was then regressed on each trial’s SELIND BLUPs. The mean squared error (mean residual variance) from each regression was extracted and then the average TrialMSE by TrialType was computed.

We need to choose one of these two options, or revise the approach further, for use input for VDP simulations. Note that in simulation, the error variances we input will be divided by the Nrep and Nloc for each stage specific, so even if e.g. UYT has worse error than AYT overall, at the clone-level, UYT would have lower error b/c of more reps and locs.

For downstream usage of the results, see the breeding scheme simulations here.
