Using a very low-density SNP panel for genomic selection in a breeding program for sheep

Abstract Background Building an efficient reference population for genomic selection is an issue when the recorded population is small and phenotypes are poorly informed, which is often the case in sheep breeding programs. Using stochastic simulation, we evaluated a genomic design based on a referen...
