Sequence variants selected from a multi-breed gwas can improve the reliability of genomic predictions in dairy cattle

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Irene Berg from the All genotype and phenotype data used in this study were obtained from pre-existing routine genetic evaluation data for the dairy cattle populations and required no ethical approvalData from , French Holstein (HOLFR), Danish Holstein (HOLDK), Danish Jersey (JER) and , Danish Red (RDC) bulls were included in the analyses. Although the HOLFR and HOLDK populations belong to the same breed, they were considered as different breeds. Holstein and RDC breeds are weakly related, while the JER breed is much more distantly related from either the RDC or Holstein breeds [6]. For all the . . .
