Genomic prediction of crossbred performance based on purebred Landrace and Yorkshire data using a dominance model

BACKGROUND: In pig breeding, selection is usually carried out in purebred populations, although the final goal is to improve crossbred performance. Genomic selection can be used to select purebred parental lines for crossbred performance. Dominance is the likely genetic basis of heterosis and explic...
