To quantify the potential benefit of genomic selection accuracies of estimated breeding values EBV obtained with different methods using pedigree or high-density SNP genotypes were evaluated and compared in a commercial layer chicken breeding line. Methods The following traits were analyzed egg production egg weight egg color shell strength age at sexual maturity body weight albumen height and yolk weight. Predictions appropriate for early or late selection were compared. A total of 2 708 birds were genotyped for 23 356 segregating SNP including 1 563 females with records. Phenotypes on relatives without genotypes were incorporated in the analysis in total 13 049 production records . The data were analyzed with a Reduced Animal Model using a relationship matrix based on pedigree data or on marker genotypes and with a Bayesian method using model averaging. Using a validation set that consisted of individuals from the generation following training these methods were compared by correlating EBV with phenotypes corrected for fixed effects selecting the top 30 individuals based on EBV and evaluating their mean phenotype and by regressing phenotypes on EBV. Results Using high-density SNP genotypes increased accuracies of EBV up to two-fold for selection .
