Abstract excerpt
Copy number variations (CNVs) have recently been identified as promising sources of genetic variation, complementary to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). As a result, detection of CNVs has attracted a great deal of attention. In this study, we performed genome-wide CNV detection using Illumina Bovine HD BeadChip (770k) data on 792 Simmental cattle. A total of 263 CNV regions (CNVRs) were identified, which...
