Distribution and Functionality of Copy Number Variation across European Cattle Populations

Distribution and Functionality of Copy Number Variation across European Cattle Populations

Copy number variation (CNV), which is characterized by large-scale losses or gains of DNA fragments, contributes significantly to genetic and phenotypic variation. Assessing CNV across different European cattle populations might reveal genetic changes responsible for phenotypic differences, which ha...
