The GTBLUP model fitted the and as independent random effects, each with their own variance component (Guo et al. 2016; Li et al. 2019). The model is where all the parameters are as defined above.
The GTIBLUP model fitted , , and the interaction between and with an additional variance component (Morgante et al. 2020). This model is , where , , , and are as defined above, and is the vector of interaction (between genomic and transcriptomic) effects, where and # is the Hadamard product.
