SNP-based mate allocation strategies to maximize total genetic value in pigs

Abstract Background Mate allocation strategies that account for non-additive genetic effects can be used to maximize the overall genetic merit of future offspring. Accounting for dominance effects in genetic evaluations is easier in a genomic context, than in a classical pedigree-based context becau...
