Abstract excerpt
Using genome-wide SNP data, we calculated genomic inbreeding coefficients (FROH > 1 Mb , FROH > 2 Mb , FROH > 8 Mb and FROH > 16 Mb ) derived from runs of homozygosity (ROH) of different lengths (>1, >2, >8 and > 16 Mb) as well as from levels of homozygosity (FHOM ). We compared these values of inbreeding coefficients with those calculated from pedigrees (FPED ) of 1422 bulls comprising Brown Swiss (304),...
