If the estimated effect was used to predict breeding values for another breed, the effect on accuracy would be more detrimental when the allele frequency of that QTL is higher in that breed.
In fact, for the Holstein breed, the effect of ROH_F on fertility was almost entirely captured by the overall homozygosity.
Although inbreeding was higher for the Jersey than the Holstein breed, the effect of increasing inbreeding on the traits studied was similar for both breeds.

Because most SNPs originated prior to breed differentiation, the effect of different mutation rates across loci might be negligible and the SNP-specific effect in the model is mainly related to selection.
The higher daily weight gain in the present study compared to previous studies may be explained by breed differences, the effect of natural stimulation of the oesophageal groove, a possible influence of natural ingestion on absorption of digestive nutrients and the adequate amount of milk.
For each individual, the phenotype was calculated as the sum of its TBV, including its breed effect and the randomly sampled environmental effect.
Since that QTL only explains a small proportion of the genetic variance in that breed, the negative effect on the accuracy of single-breed genomic prediction might be small.
If such a level was applied to our breed, the estimated effect of the CC genotype at the DMRT3 gene on qualification would increase from -0.80 σ y to -0.84 σ y.
This is likely because a QTL having a strong effect on fat percentage segregates in both breeds and the effect of the alleles on fat percentage follows the same direction in both breeds, and by coincidence the effects of the SNP associated with this polymorphism follow the same direction in both breeds [ 18].
However, Kinghorn et al. [ 11] observed that with many QTL, even incomplete dominance had a significant influence on the divergence of allele frequencies in the parental breeds because the effect of drift is not negligible with a large number of loci.
For example, the Meishan breed is known to be a fatty breed, and it would subsequently be expected that most of the M breed allele effects at the QTL for back fat depth are higher compared to the P and W breed alleles.

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
