Using pre-selected variants from large-scale whole-genome sequence data for single-step genomic predictions in pigs

CONCLUSIONS: The benefit of using sequence data depends on the line, the size of the genotyped population, and how the WGS variants are preselected. When WGS data are available on hundreds of thousands of animals, using sequence data presents an advantage but this remains limited in pigs.PMID:37495982 | PMC:PMC10373252 | DOI:10.1186/s12711-023-00831-0
