Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In livestock, as in humans, the number of genetic variants that can be tested for association with complex quantitative traits, or used in genomic predictions, is increasing exponentially as whole genome sequencing becomes more common. The power to identify variants associated with traits, particularly those of small effects, could be increased if certain regions of the genome were known a priori to...
