The Effect of Integrating Genomic Information into Genetic Evaluations of Chinese Merino Sheep

The Effect of Integrating Genomic Information into Genetic Evaluations of Chinese Merino Sheep

Genomic evaluations are a method for improving the accuracy of breeding value estimation. This study aimed to compare estimates of genetic parameters and the accuracy of breeding values for wool traits in Merino sheep between pedigree-based best linear unbiased prediction (PBLUP) and single-step gen...
