The potential of shifting recombination hotspots to increase genetic gain in livestock breeding
Abstract Background This study uses simulation to explore and quantify the potential effect of shifting recombination hotspots on genetic gain in livestock breeding programs. Methods We simulated three scenarios that differed in the locations of quantitative trait nucleotides (QTN) and recombination...
