Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: There is a long-term interest in investigating the genetic basis of the horned/polled phenotype in domestic goats. Here, we report a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to detect the genetic loci affecting the polled phenotype in goats. RESULTS: We obtained a total of 13,980,209 biallelic SNPs, using the genotyping-by-sequencing data from 45 Jintang Black (JT) goats, which included 32 female and nine...
