Functionally prioritised whole-genome sequence variants improve the accuracy of genomic prediction for heat tolerance

Abstract Background Heat tolerance is a trait of economic importance in the context of warm climates and the effects of global warming on livestock production, reproduction, health, and well-being. This study investigated the improvement in prediction accuracy for heat tolerance when selected sets o...
