Comparing power and precision of within-breed and multibreed genome-wide association studies of production traits using whole-genome sequence data for 5 French and Danish dairy cattle breeds.

Abstract excerpt

The objective of this study was to compare mapping precision and power of within-breed and multibreed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and to compare the results obtained by the multibreed GWAS with 3 meta-analysis methods. The multibreed GWAS was expected to improve mapping precision compared with a within-breed GWAS because linkage disequilibrium is conserved over shorter distances across breeds than...
