Evaluation of the potential use of a meta-population for genomic selection in autochthonous beef cattle populations

This study investigated the potential application of genomic selection under a multi-breed scheme in the Spanish autochthonous beef cattle populations using a simulation study that replicates the structure of linkage disequilibrium obtained from a sample of 25 triplets of sire/dam/offspring per popu...
