Abstract excerpt
This study presents a scan of the ovine genome to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) influencing the somatic cell score (SCS), a classical indicator of subclinical mastitis in sheep, and a subsequent high-resolution analysis of one of the identified QTL regions based on the analysis of whole-genome sequence data sets. A half-sib commercial population of Churra sheep genotyped with a 50K SNP chip was analyzed...
