Abstract excerpt
Genetic evaluations of local cattle breeds are hampered due to small reference groups or biased due to the utilization of SNP effects estimated in other large populations. Against this background, there is a lack of studies addressing the possible advantage of whole-genome sequences (WGS) or consideration of specific variants from WGS data in genomic predictions for local breeds with small population size....
