Multi-trait meta-analyses reveal 25 quantitative trait loci for economically important traits in Brown Swiss cattle

Abstract Background Little is known about the genetic architecture of economically important traits in Brown Swiss cattle because only few genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been carried out in this breed. Moreover, most GWAS have been performed for single traits, thus not providing detaile...
