Using 50K single nucleotide polymorphisms to elucidate genomic architecture of Line 1 Hereford cattle

Hereford is a major beef breed in the USA, and a sub-population, known as Line 1 (L1), was established in 1934 using two paternal half-sib bulls and 50 unrelated females. L1 has since been maintained as a closed population and selected for growth to one year of age. Objectives were to characterize t...
