Validation of whole genome linkage-linkage disequilibrium and association results, and identification of markers to predict genetic merit for twinning.

Abstract excerpt

A previous genome-wide search with a moderate density 10K marker set identified many marker associations with twinning rate, either through single-marker analysis or combined linkage-linkage disequilibrium (LLD; haplotype) analysis. The objective of the current study was to validate putative marker associations using an independent set of phenotypic data. Holstein bulls (n = 921) from 100 paternal half-sib...
