Trends in genetic diversity and the effect of inbreeding in American Angus cattle under genomic selection
Abstract Background While the adoption of genomic evaluations in livestock has increased genetic gain rates, its effects on genetic diversity and accumulation of inbreeding have raised concerns in cattle populations. Increased inbreeding may affect fitness and decrease the mean performance for econo...
