Molecular Effects of Polymorphism in the 3'UTR of Unc-5 homolog C Associated with Conception Rate in Holsteins.

Conception rates among dairy cows in Japan have declined in recent decades. To enhance our understanding of the genes involved in conception rates, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using 822 Holsteins and identified a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) associated with conception...
