Pedigree relationships to control inbreeding in optimum-contribution selection realise more genetic gain than genomic relationships

Abstract Background We tested the premise that optimum-contribution selection with pedigree relationships to control inbreeding (POCS) realises at least as much true genetic gain as optimum-contribution selection with genomic relationships (GOCS) at the same rate of true inbreeding. Methods We used...
