Massive detection of cryptic recessive genetic defects in dairy cattle mining millions of life histories

Abstract Background Dairy cattle breeds are populations of limited effective size, subject to recurrent outbreaks of recessive defects that are commonly studied using positional cloning. However, this strategy, based on the observation of animals with characteristic features, may overlook a number o...
