Genomic Prediction of Additive and Dominant Effects on Wool and Blood Traits in Alpine Merino Sheep

Genomic Prediction of Additive and Dominant Effects on Wool and Blood Traits in Alpine Merino Sheep

Dominant genetic effects may provide a critical contribution to the total genetic variation of quantitative and complex traits. However, investigations of genome-wide markers to study the genomic prediction (GP) and genetic mechanisms of complex traits generally ignore dominant genetic effects. The...
