Abstract excerpt
Genomic selection can be implemented in pig breeding at a reduced cost using genotype imputation. Accuracy of imputation and the impact on resulting genomic breeding values (gEBV) was investigated. High-density genotype data was available for 4,763 animals from a single pig line. Three low-density genotype panels were constructed with SNP densities of 450 (L450), 3,071 (L3k) and 5,963 (L6k). Accuracy of...
