Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were used to discover genomic regions explaining variation in dairy production and fertility traits. Associations were detected with either single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers or haplotypes of SNP alleles. An across-breed validation strategy was used to narrow the genomic interval containing causative mutations. There were 39,048 SNP tested in a discovery population...
