The phrase "breed data" is correct and usable in written English.
The phrase is used to describe data that is of a higher quality than the average data. For example, "This report uses breed data to make its conclusions more accurate."
Breed, data origin, estimation method, data age and location of study were found to be significant (P<0.05) for majority of the traits analysed.
We next assessed the extent of LD for each US and European population and compared it to the complete breed data.
Recorded breed data were standardised according to a pre-existing scheme of canine breed terminology (VeNom codes [ 40]).
Irish wolfhounds represent only 2.7% of all heart deaths in the population, as they as are a less common breed (data not shown).
Accuracies based on crossbred data were generally not much lower than accuracies based on pure breed data and almost identical when the breeds crossed were closely related breeds.
In addition, the Network analysis and mismatch distribution supported the existence of these two divergent haplogroups in the modern sheep breed data presented in Figures S3 and S4 [see Additional file 6: Figures S3 and S4].
Nevertheless, the majority of the SNPs on the chip are also segregating in Chinese breeds (data not shown).
Models involving mixed-breed data do not take into account the fact that marker effects may differ among breeds.
Using the partial least squares regression method in the multi-breed resulted in lower imputation accuracies than using single-breed data.
For the multi-breed data set, data from the three breeds were edited together to obtain the same SNPs in all data sets.
Reliability gains from increasing marker density in the single breed simulated were small but could be larger if marker effects were estimated from multiple-breed data.
