Abstract excerpt
In addition to its position in a quantitative trait locus for somatic cell score (SCS) and its function in the immune response, the CXCR1 chemokine receptor gene located on Bos taurus autosome 2 is an auspicious candidate gene for udder health in dairy cattle. An association analysis was conducted in the German Holstein-Friesian population to test the association between the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)...
