A Causality Perspective of Genomic Breed Composition for Composite Animals

Genomic breed composition (GBC) of an individual animal refers to the partition of its genome according to the inheritance from its ancestors or ancestral breeds. For crossbred or composite animals, knowing their GBC is useful to estimate heterosis, to characterize their actual inheritance from foun...
