A novel analytical method, Birth Date Selection Mapping, detects response of the Angus (<it>Bos taurus</it>) genome to selection on complex traits

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Several methods have recently been developed to identify regions of the genome that have been exposed to strong selection. However, recent theoretical and empirical work suggests that polygenic models are required to identify the gen...
