Dear Ky

Howard Eagles of DPI VIC at Horsham has done something similar using REML
from Genstat. He would be worth contacting. He has published the first of
these analyses but I don't have the reference here at home.

Dear ASREML users,

I'm using pedigree information in the form of a generalised inverse
relationship matrix (coefficient of parentage matrix in crop terminology)
in a
genotype by environment model.

The model I'm using with BLUEs and weights from single site analysis is:

yld !WT yldwt ~ mu site !r site.giv(gen),
!f mv
1 1 0
2922 0 IDEN !S2==0.3118207 #yld
predict site gen

This model works and the values seem sensible however I'm having trouble
finding examples of others doing this, although there is a example of how
to
set up the code in the latest ASREML manual using site and variety
factors...
Has anyone done something similar and investigated how the site.gen
variance
component changes with the inclusion of the pedigree infromation? And/or
described the theory?

Many thanks
Ky
