Abstract excerpt
Combining purebreed and crossbreed information is beneficial for genetic evaluation of some livestock species. Genetic evaluations can use relationships based on genomic information, relying on allele frequencies that are breed specific. Single-step genomic BLUP (ssGBLUP) does not account for different allele frequencies, which could limit the genetic gain in crossbreed evaluations. In this study, we tested the...
