Tóm tắt

With the emphasis on analysing genotype-by-environment interactions within the framework of genomic selection and genome-wide association analysis, there is an increasing demand for reliable tools that can be used to simulate large-scale genomic data in order to assess related approaches. We proposed a theory to simulate large-scale genomic data on genotype-by-environment interactions and added this new function to our developed tool GPOPSIM. Additionally, a simulated threshold trait with large-scale genomic data was also added. The validation of the simulated data indicated that GPOSPIM2.0 is an efficient tool for mimicking the phenotypic data of quantitative traits, threshold traits, and genetically correlated traits with large-scale genomic data while taking genotype-by-environment interactions into account. This tool is useful for assessing genotype-by-environment interactions and threshold traits methods.
