Within- and across-breed genomic prediction using whole-genome sequence and single nucleotide polymorphism panels

Conclusions:
Our results show that, genomic predictions in numerically small cattle populations would benefit from a combination of WGS data, a multi-breed reference population, and a variable selection method.
