GWAS helps to identify QTL and candidate genes of specific traits. Buffalo breeding has primarily focused on milk production, but its negative correlation with reproduction traits resulted in unfavorable decline of reproductive performance among buffaloes. A genome wide scan was performed on a total of 120 Murrah buffaloes genotyped by ddRAD sequencing for 13 traits related to female fertility, production, and...
