1 Genetic evaluation for three way crossbreeding Ole F. Christensen Aarhus University, Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics EAAP 2015, Warszawa

2 Motivation (pigs) Crossbreeding is predominant in the production. Commonly: Crossbred sows from two dam lines Crossbred production pigs from sire line and crossbred sows. Genomic selection implemented for purebreds, but also gives options for crossbreds Ideally: Include records on crossbreds Compute breeding values for crossbred performance. Aim here: develop methods Three-breed terminal crossbreeding Additive relationships from pedigree and marker genotypes

3 Scenario Three breeds, A, B and C Breeds A and B are mated to produce AB sows Breed C boars are mated to AB sows to produce C(AB) crossbreds Phenotypes on purebreds A, B and C and crossbreds C(AB). Pedigree information exist and some animals are genotyped.

4 Previous work (two way crossbreeding) (Wei and van der Werf, 1994, Christensen et al., 2014) y A = X A β A + Z A a A + e A, y B = X B β B + Z B a B + e B, y AB = X AB β AB + g AB + e AB, where BVs for purebred performance: a A, a B. Relationships defined according to breed of origin. BVs for crossbred performance: g A, g B. Genetic correlation between purebred and crossbred performances.

5 Model for three way crossbreeding Model y A = X A β A + Z A a A + e A, y B = X B β B + Z B a B + e B, y C = X C β C + Z C a C + e C, y C(AB) = X C(AB) β C(AB) + g C(AB) + e C(AB), where BVs for purebred performance: aa, a B, a C. BVs for crossbred performance: g A, g B, g C. Relationships need to be defined!

6 Model for three way crossbreeding BVs for crossbred performance g A are correlated with with genetic effects g C(AB) (relationships) and BVs for purebred performance a A (genetic correlation). Supports a breeding goal with both purebred and crossbred performances. Allows different genetic variances in three breeds. Genetic correlation < 1: dominance effects and different genetic background, G E Relationships defined such that the model can be fitted using standard animals breeding software.

7 Additive genetic relationships Relationships can be defined either within or across breeds. Within breed: Partial relationship matrices (Garcia-Cortes and Toro, 2006): 3 breed specific matrices, 1 breed segregation matrix. Having marker genotypes on crossbreds: split according to breed of origin, construct marker-based partial relationship matrices. Across breeds: Pedigree relationships on founders within breeds and across breeds (Legarra et al. 2015). Estimate founder relationships from marker genotypes. presented here!

8 Genetic relationships across breeds Relationships between base individuals: γ A γ A,B γ A,C Γ = γ A,B γ B γ B,C γ A,C γ B,C γ C. Pedigree relationships defined recursively: A(Γ) Genomic relationships: G = mm T. Estimate Γ by matching G and A(Γ) 22. Combined relationships: H(Γ) where [ (H(Γ)) = 0 G 1 (A(Γ) 22 ) 1 ] + (A(Γ)) 1, Usual procedure for computing (A(Γ)) 1 and A 22 (Γ).

9 Variance-covariance of genetic effects Var a A a B a C g A g B g C g AB g = Σ H(Γ),

10 Variance-covariance of genetic effects Variance-covariance of genetic effects equals Σ H(Γ) where Σ = 10 genetic parameters. σa,a 2 σ a,a,b σ a,a,c σ ag,a σ a,a,b σa,b 2 σ a,b,c σ ag,b σ a,a,c σ a,b,c σa,c 2 σ ag,c σ ag,a σ ag,b σ ag,c σg 2. BLUP, REML available using standard animal breeding software (input: inverse relationship matrix).

11 Conclusions Methods for genetic evaluation for three-way crossbreeding are available. Relationships either within or across breed Implemented in standard animal breeding software First step!!

From the definitions of p and q, and of p 2, 2pq, and q 2, an equilibrium is indicated (p + q) 2 = p 2 + 2pq + q 2 : if p and q remain constant, and if
