Invited review: Genome-wide association analysis for quantitative traits in livestock – a selective review of statistical models and experimental designs

Quantitative or complex traits are controlled by many genes and environmental factors. Most traits in livestock breeding are quantitative traits. Mapping genes and causative mutations generating the genetic variance of these traits is still a very active area of research in livestock genetics. S...
