A genome-wide assessment of the population structure of thirteen admixed and pure Australian beef cattle breeds.

Abstract excerpt

Knowledge of population structure is a key factor for successful multi-breed genomic prediction, especially in single-step analysis when metafounders are considered. In Australia, current assessments mostly focus on single breeds using a single-step genomic prediction method. However, the effective integration of pedigree, phenotypic, and genomic data in a multi-breed framework still requires further research,...
