Abstract excerpt
This study systematically measured gross hair weight and hair length traits across five body regions of 759 Tianzhu White Yak individuals. The BSL trait exhibited moderate heritability, while the BL trait demonstrated high heritability (h2 = 0.450). All other traits showed low heritability. GWASs were conducted using whole-genome resequencing data comprising 22,566,255 high-quality SNP loci. The MLM model...
