Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUNDS: Bovine mastitis is a typical inflammatory disease causing seriously economic loss. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) can be a powerful method to promote marker assistant selection of this kind of complex disease. The present study aimed to analyze and identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and candidate genes that associated with mastitis susceptibility traits in Chinese Holstein....
