Abstract excerpt
A combined matrix that exploits genealogy together with marker-based information could improve the selection of elite individuals in breeding programs. We present genetic parameters for adaptive and growth traits in beef cattle by exploring linear combinations of pedigree-based (A) and marker-based (G) relationship matrices. We use a data set with 2,111 Brahman (BB) and 2,550 Tropical Composite (TC) cattle with...
