Dissection of additive, dominance, and imprinting effects for production and reproduction traits in Holstein cattle

Abstract Background Although genome-wide association and genomic selection studies have primarily focused on additive effects, dominance and imprinting effects play an important role in mammalian biology and development. The degree to which these non-additive genetic effects contribute to phenotypic...
