Genomic selection of purebreds for crossbred performance [PDF]
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2009 Abstract Background One of the main limitations of many livestock breeding programs is that selection is in pure breeds housed in high-health environments but the aim is to improve crossbred performance under field conditions. Genomic selection (GS) using high-density genotyping could be used to address this.
