Genome-wide association studies of fertility and calving traits in Brown Swiss cattle using imputed whole-genome sequences

Abstract Background The detection of quantitative trait loci has accelerated with recent developments in genomics. The introduction of genomic selection in combination with sequencing efforts has made a large amount of genotypic data available. Functional traits such as fertility and calving traits...
