The equations will be correct if you switch the signs and order of matrix multiplication.

Approved by the committee that really matters. Congratulations, Dr Bonifazi!

Happy #Caturday from Tux on his chair, definitely not a foot stool.

@AndresLegarra Such a scam. You only need a few!

To all genetic evaluation services, a free viral marketing concept for you.

There are more than 1.5 Billion cows on the planet eating feed. 🐄

But almost none of them use it efficiently!

Here are 50,000 SNP marker effects to take into account in your herd!

Context: exotic vets at the small animal hospital across the road. He's home now, a full day of bioinformatics is a bit too much like hard work for a tortoise.

My tortoise attended a lab meeting today, he didn't have a lot of good ideas but he tried his hardest. 🐢

The unstoppable Mike Goddard - who has attended every #WCGALP Congress - talks about heterosis @wcgalp2022 he taught me undergraduate animal genetics 🧬 @UniMelb in #AgSci in 1984 - he definitely ranks highly for #stayability #(paper)prolificacy and #likability!! #WCGALP2022

Luckily, @of_breeding is on top of that heterosis issue!

[Cats of Animal Breeding @of_breeding]

Hazel solved the problem, and the cat was fine.

@DJ_de_Koning @John_B_Cole @GregorGorjanc "Lush's Cat" is a much better thought experiment. A cat locked in a box has to find a linear combination that optimizes the correlation with the breeding goal using only perfect knowledge of the genetic parameters, correlations, economic values and a mechanical calculator ...

@John_B_Cole @of_breeding @DJ_de_Koning @GregorGorjanc I still like lethal recessives better....
