Identification of candidate lethal haplotypes and genomic association with post-natal mortality and reproductive traits in Nellore cattle

Abstract The wide use of genomic information has enabled the identification of lethal recessive alleles that are the major genetic causes of reduced conception rates, longer calving intervals, or lower survival for live-born animals. This study was carried out to screen the Nellore cattle genome for...
