Abstract excerpt
Many studies have reported quantitative trait loci on chromosome 6 that affect milk production traits in dairy cattle. Osteopontin (OPN) and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PPARGC1A) are located in the middle of chromosome 6 about 6 Mb apart, which is approximately 12 cM. The objective of this study was to investigate the association of OPN and PPARGC1A variants with milk...
