Genomic regions underlying uniformity of yearling weight in Nellore cattle evaluated under different response variables

Genomic regions underlying uniformity of yearling weight in Nellore cattle evaluated under different response variables

Abstract Background In livestock, residual variance has been studied because of the interest to improve uniformity of production. Several studies have provided evidence that residual variance is partially under genetic control; however, few investigations have elucidated genes that control it. The a...
