Traditionally, the  p -value is the criterion for the cutoff threshold to determine significant markers in genome-wide association studies (GWASs). Choosing the best subset of markers for the best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) for improved prediction ability (PA) has become an interesting issue. However, when dealing with many traits having the same marker information, the  p -values’ themselves cannot be used as an obvious solution for having a confidence in GWAS and BLUP. We thus suggest a genomic estimated breeding value-assisted reduction method of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) set (GARS) to address these difficulties. GARS is a BLUP-based SNP set decision presentation. The samples were Landrace pigs and the traits used were back fat thickness (BF) and daily weight gain (DWG). The prediction abilities (PAs) for BF and DWG for the entire SNP set were 0.8 and 0.8, respectively. By using the correlation between genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs) and phenotypic values, selecting the cutoff threshold in GWAS and the best SNP subsets in BLUP was plausible as defined by GARS method. 6,000 SNPs in BF and 4,000 SNPs in DWG were considered as adequate thresholds. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis using the GARS results of the BF indicated neuron projection development as the notable GO term, whereas for the DWG, the main GO terms were nervous system development and cell adhesion.
