Genomic prediction of traits is less accurate when predictions are made in one population based on genetic associations in a second population, and less accurate when those two populations are less closely related

un_migrations: UN migration stock (2015)
A network of migration between countries, collected by the United Nations. A directed edge gives the flow of migration, and an edge property gives the number of migrants, for each given year and sex. Estimates are presented for 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015 and are available for all countries and areas of the world. The estimates are based on official statistics on the foreign-born or the foreign population.
This network has 232 no…
