Abstract excerpt
Genomic selection (GS) techniques have improved animal breeding by enhancing the prediction accuracy of breeding values, particularly for traits that are difficult to measure and have low heritability, as well as reducing generation intervals. However, the requirement to establish genetic reference populations can limit the application of GS in pig breeds with small populations, especially when small populations...
