Genome-wide association mapping for dominance effects in female fertility using real and simulated data from Danish Holstein cattle.

Abstract excerpt

Exploring dominance variance and loci contributing to dominance variation is important to understand the genetic architecture behind quantitative traits. The objectives of this study were i) to estimate dominance variances, ii) to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) with dominant effects, and iii) to evaluate the power and the precision of identifying loci with dominance effect through post-hoc simulations, with...
