Abstract excerpt
Camels are increasingly recognized for their potential to meet future nutritional and medical needs due to their unique qualities. This study aims to advance our understanding of the genetic basis of body size in dromedaries by employing confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and genome-wide association studies (GWAS). We used phenotypic data from 9 body measurements of 96 Iranian male camels to develop a latent...
