Abstract excerpt
Haplotypes that are common in a population but not observed as homotypes in living animals may harbor lethal alleles that compromise embryo survival. In this study, we searched for homozygous-deficient haplotypes in the genomes of 19,309 Nordic Red Dairy (RDC) and 4,291 Danish Jersey (JER) cattle genotyped using the Illumina BovineSNP50 BeadChip (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA). For statistically significant...
