Combined GWAS and ‘guilt by association’-based prioritization analysis identifies functional candidate genes for body size in sheep

Abstract Background Body size in sheep is an important indicator of productivity, growth and health as well as of environmental adaptation. It is a composite quantitative trait that has been studied with high-throughput genomic methods, i.e. genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in various mammalia...
