Abstract excerpt
Enhancing growth traits is a key goal in sustainable meat goat production and is often regarded as a primary objective in breeding programmes for meat goats. In this study, whole genome low-depth sequencing data of 300 Longling yellow female goats were used to detect the genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and the genome-wide association study (GWAS) based on SNPs was performed for the BW, body...
