Genomic evaluation by including dominance effects and inbreeding depression for purebred and crossbred performance with an application in pigs

BACKGROUND: Improved performance of crossbred animals is partly due to heterosis. One of the major genetic bases of heterosis is dominance, but it is seldom used in pedigree-based genetic evaluation of livestock. Recently, a trivariate genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) model including...
