Abstract excerpt
To develop a breed assignment model, three main steps are generally followed: 1) The selection of breed informative single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP); 2) The training of a model, based on a reference population, that allows to classify animals to their breed of origin; and 3) The validation of the developed model on external animals i.e., that were not used in previous steps. However, there is no consensus in...
