Genome-wide panels of SNPs have recently been used in domestic animal species to map
and identify genes for many traits and to select genetically desirable livestock. This has led …

Background Genome-wide association analysis is a powerful tool for annotating phenotypic
effects on the genome and knowledge of genes and chromosomal regions associated with …

Implications Cattle temperament can be described based on reactivity to human handling,
novel objects, or stressful situations. Despite its economic and welfare implications, there is …

Genetic effects for many dairy traits and for total economic merit are evenly distributed
across all chromosomes. A high-density scan using 38,416 single nucleotide polymorphism …

Background Genotypic information produced from single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
arrays has routinely been used to identify genomic regions associated with complex traits in …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were used to discover genomic regions
explaining variation in dairy production and fertility traits. Associations were detected with …

The increasing evidence of fetal developmental effects on postnatal life, the still unknown
fetal growth mechanisms impairing offspring generated by somatic nuclear transfer …

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are growing in popularity as a genetic marker for
investigating evolutionary processes. A panel of SNPs is often developed by comparing …

The objective of this work was to integrate findings from functional genomics studies with
genome‐wide association studies for fertility and production traits in dairy cattle. Association …

The aim of this study was to identify genomic regions associated with 305‐day milk yield and
lactation curve parameters on primiparous (n= 9,910) and multiparous (n= 11,158) Holstein …
