DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.968712
Abstract: The Angora rabbit, a well-known breed for fiber production, has been undergoing traditional breeding programs relying mainly on phenotypes. Genomic selection (GS) uses genomic information and promises to accelerate genetic gain. Practically, to implement GS… read more here.
