Abstract excerpt
Lethal alleles are mutations in the genome that cause embryonic losses in affected homozygous embryos and, therefore, can negatively influence reproduction rates in commercial populations. Thus, this study aimed to identify genomic regions containing potential lethal haplotypes in Nellore breed; identify candidate genes located within these regions; and investigate the reproductive performance of heterozygous...
