Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association study (GWAS) is a powerful tool to identify candidate genes and genomic regions underlying key biological mechanisms associated with economically important traits. In this context, the aim of this study was to identify genomic regions and metabolic pathways associated with backfat thickness (BFT) and rump fat thickness (RFT) in Nellore cattle, raised in pasture-based systems....
