Assessing the genetic background and genomic relatedness of red cattle populations originating from Northern Europe

Abstract Background Local cattle breeds need special attention, as they are valuable reservoirs of genetic diversity. Appropriate breeding decisions and adequate genomic management of numerically smaller populations are required for their conservation. At this point, the analysis of dense genome-wid...
