Abstract excerpt
Bone weight, defined as the total weight of the bones in all the forequarter and hindquarter joints, can reflect somebody conformation traits and skeletal diseases. To gain a better understanding of the genetic determinants of bone weight, we used a composite strategy including multimarker and rare-marker association to perform genomewide association studies (GWAS) for that character in Simmental cattle. Our...
