Genomic selection for crossbred performance accounting for breed-specific effects

Abstract Background Breed-specific effects are observed when the same allele of a given genetic marker has a different effect depending on its breed origin, which results in different allele substitution effects across breeds. In such a case, single-breed breeding values may not be the most accurate...
