Abstract excerpt
Carcass merits are widely considered as economically important traits affecting beef production in the beef cattle industry. However, the genetic basis of carcass traits remains to be well understood. Here, we applied multiple methods, including the Composite of Likelihood Ratio (CLR) and Genome-wide Association Study (GWAS), to explore the selection signatures and candidate variants affecting carcass traits. We...
