Genome-wide association study of endo-parasite phenotypes using imputed whole-genome sequence data in dairy and beef cattle

Abstract Background Quantitative genetic studies suggest the existence of variation at the genome level that affects the ability of cattle to resist to parasitic diseases. The objective of the current study was to identify regions of the bovine genome that are associated with resistance to endo-para...
