SNV discovery and functional candidate gene identification for milk composition based on whole genome resequencing of Holstein bulls with extremely high and low breeding values.

SNV discovery and functional candidate gene identification for milk composition based on whole genome resequencing of Holstein bulls with extremely high and low breeding values.

We have sequenced the whole genomes of eight proven Holstein bulls from the four half-sib or full-sib families with extremely high and low estimated breeding values (EBV) for milk protein percentage (PP) and fat percentage (FP) using Illumina re-sequencing technology. Consequently, 2.3 billion raw r...
