Using imputed whole-genome sequence data to improve the accuracy of genomic prediction for parasite resistance in Australian sheep

Abstract Background This study aimed at (1) comparing the accuracies of genomic prediction for parasite resistance in sheep based on whole-genome sequence (WGS) data to those based on 50k and high-density (HD) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panels; (2) investigating whether the use of variants...
