Abstract excerpt
A single nucleotide polymorphism in the intergenic region upstream of the ZNF496 gene on Bos taurus chromosome 7 displayed significant population-wide linkage disequilibrium with milk protein percentage in the Israeli Holstein population. The frequency of the allele associated with increased protein concentration was 10%. This single nucleotide polymorphism was located in the promoter region from which a 10-exon...
