Effects of marker density and minor allele frequency on genomic prediction for growth traits in Chinese Simmental beef cattle

Effects of marker density and minor allele frequency on genomic prediction for growth traits in Chinese Simmental beef cattle

Genomic selection has been demonstrated as a powerful technology to revolutionize animal breeding. However, marker density and minor allele frequency can affect the predictive ability of genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs). To investigate the impact of marker density and minor allele frequency...
