Genome-wide association study with imputed whole-genome sequence variants including large deletions for female fertility in 3 Nordic dairy cattle breeds.

Abstract excerpt

Fertility is an economically important trait in livestock. Poor fertility in dairy cattle can be due to loss-of-function variants affecting any essential gene that causes early embryonic mortality in homozygotes. To identify fertility-associated quantitative trait loci, we performed single-marker association analyses for 8 fertility traits in Holstein, Jersey, and Nordic Red Dairy cattle using imputed...
