Effects of alleles in crossbred pigs estimated for genomic prediction depend on their breed-of-origin

Effects of alleles in crossbred pigs estimated for genomic prediction depend on their breed-of-origin

Abstract Background This study investigated if the allele effect of a given single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) for crossbred performance in pigs estimated in a genomic prediction model differs depending on its breed-of-origin, and how these are related to estimated effects for purebred performance...
