Abstract excerpt
The main purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the population structure in Danish Jersey (DJ) known from the history of the breed also is reflected in its genomic structure. This is done by comparing the linkage disequilibrium and persistence of phase for subgroups of Jersey animals with high proportions of Danish (DNK) or United States (USJ) origin. Furthermore, it is investigated whether a model...
