Copy number variations and genome-wide associations reveal putative genes and metabolic pathways involved with the feed ...

Published in Journal of applied genetics

The use of genome-wide association results combined with other genomic approaches may uncover genes and metabolic pathways related to complex traits. In this study, the phenotypic and genotypic data of 1475 Nellore (Bos indicus) cattle and 941,033 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were used for genome-wide association study (GWAS) and copy num...
