Abstract excerpt
To further understand the genetic structure that is associated with insulin (INS) and thyroid hormones (TH), including triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), in Chinese Holstein cows, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of thyroid hormones and insulin in cows. We conducted GWAS analysis on 1217 Chinese Holstein cows raised in southern China and found 19 significant single nucleotide...
