Genome-wide association study for feed efficiency and growth traits in U.S. beef cattle

Genome-wide association study for feed efficiency and growth traits in U.S. beef cattle

Abstract Background Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays for domestic cattle have catalyzed the identification of genetic markers associated with complex traits for inclusion in modern breeding and selection programs. Using actual and imputed Illumina 778K genotypes for 3887 U.S. beef cattle...
