Characterization of Autozygosity in Pigs in Three-Way Crossbreeding
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Crossbreeding in livestock can be used to increase genetic diversity. The resulting increase in variability is related to the heterozygosity of the crossbred animal. The evolution of diversity during crossbreeding can be assessed using genomic data.

How Hybrid Breakdown Can Be Handled in Rice Crossbreeding?
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 In crosses between genetically divergent parents, traits such as weakness and sterility often segregate in later generations. This hybrid breakdown functions as a reproductive barrier and reduces selection efficiency in crossbreeding.
