On the 5th of February 2019, the B4F Big Data team organised a training workshop on the implementation of a data lake stack within the domain of animal breeding. The workshop was held at Zodiac, Wageningen, and attracted 20 participants from the industry and WUR. Since the start of B4F Precision Phenotyping in 2017, the…
In collaboration with the Technical University of Delft, researchers at Wageningen University & Research, Animal Breeding and Genomics (WUR-ABG), have recently implemented an efficient algorithm, called the deflated preconditioned conjugate gradient method. This algorithm, new in animal breeding, aims to allow large routine single-step genomic evaluations to predict genomic breeding values more accurately. First tests…
