Genome-wide association scan for heterotic quantitative trait loci in multi-breed and crossbred beef cattle

Abstract Background Heterosis has been suggested to be caused by dominance effects. We performed a joint genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) using data from multi-breed and crossbred beef cattle to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with significant dominance effects associated with...
