17 Sept 2018
Abstract excerpt
Copy number variants (CNVs) are a form of genomic variation that changes the structure of the genome through deletion or duplication of stretches of DNA. The objective of the present study was to characterize CNVs in a large multibreed population of beef and dairy bulls. The CNVs were called on the autosomes of 5,551 cattle from 22 different beef and dairy breeds, using 2 freely available software suites,...
