Abstract excerpt
The genetic improvement of cattle is able to provide the highest economic efficiency. Animals with best external features often have the highest indicators of productivity and nonspecific resistance. In order to identify single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers and genes, potentially responsible for conformation traits of Ayrshire cattle, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS). Blood samples were...
