It has been shown [ 14] that for a two-way cross and ignoring selection, the allele substitution effects for QTL or markers in one parental breed depend on the allele frequencies in the other parental breed.
This was the most common haplotype and it was present in all trials and in every parental breed.
Thus, the allele frequencies used in BSAM are based on the frequencies in the training population of the alleles inherited from the opposite parental breed.
In the dominance model, breed-specific allele substitution effects were computed using estimated dominance and additive effects, together with the appropriate allele frequencies from the other parental breed.
The BSAM model gives allele substitution effects for each parental breed that depend on allele frequencies among individuals from the other breed that were used to produce the training population.
In generation 1 through 20, 600 animals were selected from 1000 candidates in each parental breed based on their GEBV, of which the top 100 were used as males and the other 500 as females.

In fact, the Brahmanmaternal x Anguspaternal hybrid was intermediate in weight between the two purebred parental breeds.
The additive eQTL coefficient ca was derived assuming that the parental breeds were fixed for alternative eQTL alleles [21].
The best method for imputation of crossbred animals is to include all purebred parental breeds in the reference population.
The goal was to improve CP through selection in the two parental breeds (breeds A and B acted as sire and dam breeds, respectively).
If a SNP is segregating in both parental breeds, then the SNP will have a nonzero substitution effect in the crossbreds for both breeds.

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.
