Mapping genomic regions affecting milk traits in Sarda sheep by using the OvineSNP50 Beadchip and principal components to perform combined linkage and linkage disequilibrium analysis

Abstract Background The detection of regions that affect quantitative traits (QTL), to implement selection assisted by molecular information, remains of particular interest in dairy sheep for which genetic gain is constrained by the high costs of large-scale phenotype and pedigree recording. QTL det...
