Improving the Accuracy of Multi-Breed Prediction in Admixed Populations by Accounting for the Breed Origin of Haplotype Segments

Numerically small breeds have often been upgraded with mainstream breeds. This historic introgression predisposes the breeds for joint genomic evaluations with mainstream breeds. The linkage disequilibrium structure differs between breeds. The marker effects of a haplotype segment may, therefore, de...
