Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The success of genomic selection in animal breeding hinges on the availability of a large reference population on which genomic-based predictions of additive genetic or breeding values are built. Here, we explore the benefit of combining two unrelated populations into a single reference population. METHODS: The datasets consisted of 1829 Brahman and 1973 Tropical Composite cattle with measurements on...
