Abstract excerpt
Artificial selection has greatly improved the beef production performance and changed its genetic basis. High-density SNP markers provide a way to track these changes and use selective signatures to search for the genes associated with artificial selection. In this study, we performed extended haplotype homozygosity (EHH) tests based on Illumina BovineSNP50 (54 K) Chip data from 942 Simmental cattle to identify...
