Abstract excerpt
Non-additive genetic effects are well known to play an important role in the phenotypic expression of complex traits, such as fertility and reproduction. In this study, a genome scan was performed using 41,640 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers to identify genomic regions associated with epistatic (additive-by-additive) effects in fertility and reproduction traits in Holstein cattle. Nine fertility and...
