Effects of reference population size and structure on genomic prediction of maternal traits in two pig lines using whole-genome sequence-, high-density- and combined annotation-dependent depletion genotypes.

Abstract excerpt

The aim of this study was to investigate the reference population size required to obtain substantial prediction accuracy within- and across-lines and the effect of using a multi-line reference population for genomic predictions of maternal traits in pigs. The data consisted of two nucleus pig populations, one pure-bred Landrace (L) and one Synthetic (S) Yorkshire/Large White line. All animals were genotyped with...
