Abstract excerpt
GWAS conducted directly on imputed whole genome sequence have led to the identification of numerous genetic variants associated with agronomic traits in cattle. However, such variants are often simply markers in linkage disequilibrium with the actual causal variants, which is a limiting factor for the development of accurate genomic predictions. It is possible to identify causal variants by integrating...
