Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: For genomic selection in populations with a small reference population, combining populations of the same breed or populations of related breeds is an effective way to increase the size of the reference population. However, genomic predictions based on single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-chip genotype data using combined populations with different genetic backgrounds or from different breeds have not...
