Abstract excerpt
Genetic improvement of animals based on artificial selection is leading to changes in the frequency of genes related to desirable production traits. The changes are reflected by the neutral, intergenic single nucleotide polymorphims (SNPs) being in long-range linkage disequilibrium with functional polymorphisms. Genome-wide SNP analysis tools designed for cattle, allow for scanning divergences in allelic...
