Reliabilities with a crossbred reference population that originated from two unrelated breeds. Reliabilities of genomic estimated breeding values for crossbred performance with (W/) and without (W/O) availability of genotyping data, based on an across-breed SNP genotype model (ASGM) or on a breed-specific allele substitution effect model (BSAM), and using a reference population with 2000 or 4000 crossbred AB animals. Reference animals were separated from breed A selection candidates by one (G1), or three (G3) generation(s). Heritabilities of 0.20, 0.40, and 0.95, were assumed. Results were averaged across replicates
