Genome-wide association and functional annotation analysis for the calving interval in Nellore cattle.

Abstract excerpt

Calving interval (CI) measures the number of days between two consecutive calves of the same cow, and previous studies based on phenotype and pedigree data reported low heritability for this trait. However, the genetic architecture of CI in the Nellore breed was not evaluated based on genomic data. Thus, this study aimed to estimate the heritability based on genomic data and carry out a genome-wide association...
