Genomic prediction of crossbred performance based on purebred Landrace and Yorkshire data using a dominance model

Table 1 Prediction accuracies for Landrace and Yorkshire boars based on a genomic model with only additive effects (MA) and a model with additive and dominance effects (MAD)

For both models, the validation criterion was crossbred performance
MA additive model, MAD dominance model, GEBV genomic estimated breeding value for purebred performance, GEBV-C genomic estimated breeding value for crossbred performance
^aPurebred: training in pure lines was done separately
^bCombined: genotyped sows from both pure lines were combined together to create a single training population
