Pre-selecting markers based on fixation index scores improved the power of genomic evaluations in a combined Yorkshire pig population

Combining different swine populations in genomic prediction can be an important tool, leading to an increased accuracy of genomic prediction using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chip data compared with within-population genomic. However, the expected higher accuracy of multi-population genomic...
