Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) has identified many genetic variants associated with milk-related traits in dairy cattle. However, the causal variants or genes remain largely unknown. In this study, using a large population (> 10,000 individuals) of Chinese Holstein cattle, we performed GWAS for six milk-related traits (milk yield, fat percentage, protein percentage, fat yield, protein yield,...
