Weighted Single-Step Genome-Wide Association Study of Semen Traits in Holstein Bulls of China

Weighted Single-Step Genome-Wide Association Study of Semen Traits in Holstein Bulls of China

Efficient production of high-quality semen is a crucial trait in the dairy cattle breeding due to the widespread use of artificial insemination. However, the genetic architecture (e.g., distributions of causal variants and their corresponding effects) underlying such semen quality traits remains unc...
