Genome-Wide Association Study for Milk Fatty Acids in Holstein Cattle Accounting for the <i>DGAT1</i> Gene Effect

The identification of genomic regions and candidate genes associated with milk fatty acids contributes to better understand the underlying biology of these traits and enables breeders to modify milk fat composition through genetic selection. The main objectives of this study were: (1) to perform gen...
