Abstract excerpt
Variation in the XK, Kell blood group complex subunit-related family, member 4 (XKR4) gene on BTA14 was associated with rump fat thickness in a recent genome-wide association study. This region is also of interest because it is known to show evidence of a signature of population genetic selection. In this study, additional variation in this gene was genotyped in a sample of a total of 1283 animals of the Belmont...
