Description
A paper produced in the frame of the H2020 project 677353 'Innovative Management of Animal GEnetic resources'
This study investigates the use of optimal contribution selection with different scenarios of using gene bank samples. It shows the possible usefulness of gene bank collections to increase genetic variability and improve genetic merit in a highly selected dairy cattle breed.
