Imputation accuracy and carrier frequency of deleterious recessive defects in Australian dairy cattle.

Abstract excerpt

Widespread genotyping has enabled the identification of putative recessive mutations that affect fertility through early embryonic fetal loss, or that compromise neonate or calf viability. The use of artificial insemination in the global dairy population can rapidly spread these harmful mutations, and testing for multiple mutations can become relatively expensive if not all tests are available on the same SNP...
