Distinguishing pleiotropy from linked QTL between milk production traits and mastitis resistance in Nordic Holstein cattle
Abstract Background Production and health traits are central in cattle breeding. Advances in next-generation sequencing technologies and genotype imputation have increased the resolution of gene mapping based on genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Thus, numerous candidate genes that affect milk...
