Refined mapping of a QTL for somatic cell score on BTA27 in the German Holstein using combined linkage and linkage disequilibrium analysis
2010-06-01
Abstract excerpt
Genetic selection for udder health is often based on the indicator trait somatic cell score (SCS), which is correlated with clinical mastitis and has a moderate heritability. We used combined linkage and linkage disequilibrium analysis to refine mapping of a previously reported quantitative trait locus (QTL) affecting SCS on Bos taurus autosome 27 (BTA27) in the German Holstein population. A granddaughter design o...
