Genomic Evaluation for a Crossbreeding System Implementing Breed-of-Origin for Targeted Markers

The genome in crossbred animals is a mosaic of genomic regions inherited from the different parental breeds. We previously showed that effects of haplotypes strongly associated with crossbred performance are different depending upon from which parental breed they are inherited, however, the majority...
