Abstract excerpt
A major objective of dairy cattle genomic research is to identify genes underlying the variability of milk production traits that could be useful in breeding programs. The candidate gene approach provides tools for searching for causative polymorphisms affecting quantitative traits. Genes with a possible effect on milk traits in cattle can be involved in different physiological pathways, such as triglyceride...
