Factors affecting accuracy of estimated effective number of chromosome segments for numerically small breeds.

Abstract excerpt

For numerically small breeds, obtaining a sufficiently large breed-specific reference population for genomic prediction is challenging or simply not possible, but may be overcome by adding individuals from another breed. To prioritize among available breeds, the effective number of chromosome segments (Me ) can be used as an indicator of relatedness between individuals from different breeds. The Me is also an...
