Impact of reducing metagenomic sequencing depth on phenotypic prediction accuracy of feed intake and average daily gain in beef cattle.

Abstract excerpt

Metagenomic information can aid in both genomic and phenotypic predictions of economically relevant traits. Financial restraints often result in a trade-off between the number of samples sequenced and the depth of sequencing. Therefore, it is critical to understand how changes in sequencing depth impact phenotypic prediction accuracy to make optimal use of resources. This study utilized host genomic and rumen...
