Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Currently, genome-wide evaluation of cattle populations is based on SNP-genotyping using ~ 54,000 SNP. Increasing the number of markers might improve genomic predictions and power of genome-wide association studies. Imputation of genotypes makes it possible to extrapolate genotypes from lower to higher density arrays based on a representative reference sample for which genotypes are obtained at higher...
