An overview on quantitative and genomic tools for utilising dominance genetic variation in improving animal production
In addition to genetic progress made by selection on additive genetic values, short-term gains can be produced by recovering possible inbreeding depression or utilising putative overdominance. These are both caused mainly by dominance genetic variation which can be quantified using mixed model metho...
