Fixed-length haplotypes can improve genomic prediction accuracy in an admixed dairy cattle population

BACKGROUND: Fitting covariates representing the number of haplotype alleles rather than single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) alleles may increase genomic prediction accuracy if linkage disequilibrium between quantitative trait loci and SNPs is inadequate. The objectives of this study were to evaluat...
