Genomic selection models for directional dominance: an example for litter size in pigs.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE - 26 Jan 2018

Varona Luis, Legarra Andrés, Herring William, Vitezica Zulma G

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The quantitative genetics theory argues that inbreeding depression and heterosis are founded on the existence of directional dominance. However, most procedures for genomic selection that have included dominance effects assumed prior symmetrical distributions. To address this, two alternatives can be considered: (1) assume the mean of dominance effects different from zero, and (2) use skewed...
