Improving multibreed genomic prediction for breeds with small populations by modeling heterogeneous genetic (co)variance blockwise accounting for linkage disequilibrium
This study presents a novel LD block-based approach for multibreed genomic prediction. Our work provides a practical tool for livestock breeding programs and offers new insights into leveraging genetic diversity across breeds for improved genomic prediction.
