Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Copy number variations (CNVs) represent a significant source of genomic structural variation. Their length ranges from approximately one hundred to millions of base pair.

Although Bos taurus is one of the most important domestic animal species worldwide and one of the most studied...
