Inbreeding and runs of homozygosity before and after genomic selection in North American Holstein cattle

Inbreeding and runs of homozygosity before and after genomic selection in North American Holstein cattle

Abstract Background While autozygosity as a consequence of selection is well understood, there is limited information on the ability of different methods to measure true inbreeding. In the present study, a gene dropping simulation was performed and inbreeding estimates based on runs of homozygosity...
