Genomic prediction for numerically small breeds, using models with pre-selected and differentially weighted markers

Abstract Background Genomic prediction (GP) accuracy in numerically small breeds is limited by the small size of the reference population. Our objective was to test a multi-breed multiple genomic relationship matrices (GRM) GP model (MBMG) that weighs pre-selected markers separately, uses the remain...
