Alternative methods improve the accuracy of genomic prediction using information from a causal point mutation in a dairy sheep model

Abstract Background Genomic evaluation is usually based on a set of markers assumed to be linked with causal mutations. Selection and precise management of major genes and the remaining polygenic component might be improved by including causal polymorphisms in the evaluation models. In this study, v...
