摘要： Simple Summary: To reduce the breeding costs and promote the application of genomic selection (GS) in Chinese Simmental beef cattle, we developed a customized low-density single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panel consisting of 30,684 SNPs. When comparing the predictive performance of the low-density SNP panel to that of the BovineHD Beadchip for 13 traits, we found that this similar to 30 K panel achieved moderate to high prediction accuracies for most traits, while reducing the prediction accuracies of six traits by 0.04-0.09 and decreasing the prediction accuracy of one trait by 0.2. For the remaining six traits, the usage of the low-density SNP panel was associated with a slight increase in prediction accuracy. Our studies suggested that the low-density SNP panel (similar to 30 K) is a feasible and promising tool for cost-effective genomic prediction in Chinese Simmental beef cattle, which may provide breeding organizations with a cheaper option and greater returns on investment. Abstract: Chinese Simmental beef cattle play a key role in the Chinese beef industry due to their great adaptability and marketability. To achieve efficient genetic gain at a low breeding cost, it is crucial to develop a customized cost-effective low-density SNP panel for this cattle population. Thirteen growth, carcass, and meat quality traits and a BovineHD Beadchip genotyping of 1346 individuals were used to select trait-associated variants and variants contributing to great genetic variance. In addition, highly informative SNPs with high MAF in each 500 kb sliding window and in each genic region were also included separately. A low-density SNP panel consisting of 30,684 SNPs was developed, with an imputation accuracy of 97.4% when imputed to the 770 K level. Among 13 traits, the average prediction accuracy levels evaluated by genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) and BayesA/B/C pi were 0.22-0.47 and 0.18-0.60 for the similar to 30 K array and BovineHD Beadchip, respectively. Generally, the predictive performance of the similar to 30 K array was trait-dependent, with reduced prediction accuracies for seven traits. While differences in terms of prediction accuracy were observed among the 13 traits, the low-density SNP panel achieved moderate to high accuracies for most of the traits and even improved the accuracies for some traits.
