Variance explained by whole genome sequence variants in coding and regulatory genome annotations for six dairy traits

Abstract Background There are an exceedingly large number of sequence variants discovered through whole genome sequencing in most populations, including cattle. Deciphering which of these affect complex traits is a major challenge. In this study we hypothesize that variants in some functional classe...
