Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genomic selection has become a standard tool in dairy cattle breeding. However, for other animal species, implementation of this technology is hindered by the high cost of genotyping. One way to reduce the routine costs is to genotype selection candidates with an SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) panel of reduced density. This strategy is investigated in the present paper. Methods are proposed for...
