Genetic gain and inbreeding from simulation of different genomic mating schemes for pig improvement

Abstract Background Genomic selection involves choosing as parents those elite individuals with the higher genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) to accelerate the speed of genetic improvement in domestic animals. But after multi-generation selection, the rate of inbreeding and the occurrence of h...
