Genomic evaluation for a three-way crossbreeding system considering breed-of-origin of alleles

Abstract Background Genomic prediction of purebred animals for crossbred performance can be based on a model that estimates effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in purebreds on crossbred performance. For crossbred performance, SNP effects might be breed-specific due to differences betwe...
