Estimation of (co)variances for genomic regions of flexible sizes: application to complex infectious udder diseases in dairy cattle

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Multi-trait genomic models in a Bayesian context can be used to estimate genomic (co)variances, either for a complete genome or for genomic regions (e.g. per chromosome) for the purpose of multi-trait genomic selection or to gain fur...
