Accuracy and dispersion bias in Holstein (N = 1223), Jersey (N = 1195) and crossbred (N = 790) cows when using 50k + ‘top SNPs’ selected from the multi-breed (Holstein + Jersey) QTL discovery set. Holstein bulls (N = 3323) were used as the reference set for genomic predictions. The ‘top SNPs’ were selected based on a single-trait GWAS cut-off of [− log10(p-value) ≥ 2]. The traits analysed are heat tolerance milk (HTMYslope), fat (HTFYslope), and protein (HTPYslope) yield. Vertical lines represent the standard errors calculated from two random validation subsets
