Optimized Use of Low-Depth Genotyping-by-Sequencing for Genomic Prediction Among Multi-Parental Family Pools and Single Plants in Perennial Ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.)

Ryegrass single plants, bi-parental family pools, and multi-parental family pools are often genotyped, based on allele-frequencies using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) assays.GBS assays can be Immobilizers performed at low-coverage depth to reduce costs.However, reducing the coverage depth leads to a higher proportion of missing data, and leads to
