Abstract excerpt
Researching depletions in homozygous genotypes for specific haplotypes among the large cohorts of animals genotyped for genomic selection is a very efficient strategy to map recessive lethal mutations. In this study, by analyzing real or imputed Illumina BovineSNP50 (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA) genotypes from more than 250,000 Holstein animals, we identified a new locus called HH6 showing significant negative...
