Abstract excerpt
With the availability of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker chips, such as the Illumina BovineSNP50 BeadChip (50K), genomic evaluation has been routinely implemented in dairy cattle breeding. However, for an average dairy producer, total costs associated with the 50K chip are still too high to have all the cows genotyped and genomically evaluated. To study the accuracy of cheaper low-density chips,...
