Abstract excerpt
Estimates of dominance variance for growth traits in beef cattle based on pedigree data vary considerably across studies, and the proportion of genetic variance explained by dominance deviations remains largely unknown. The potential benefits of including nonadditive genetic effects in the genomic model combined with the increasing availability of large genomic data sets have recently renewed the interest in...
