Several key traits determine the value of wool and influence a sheep's susceptibility to fleece rot and fly strike. Our aim was to predict genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) and to compare three methods of combining information across traits to map polymorphisms that affect these traits. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Genetics Selection Evolution, v.49, p. 1-22 | Publisher: | BioMed Central Ltd | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1297-9686 0999-193X |
