Dominance and parent-of-origin effects of coding and non-coding alleles at the acylCoA-diacylglycerol-acyltransferase (<it>DGAT1</it>) gene on milk production traits in German Holstein cows

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Substantial gene substitution effects on milk production traits have formerly been reported for alleles at the K232A and the promoter VNTR loci in the bovine acylCoA-diacylglycerol-acyltransferase 1 (<it>DGAT1</it>) gene...
