Variation in genes involved in epigenetic processes offers insights into tropically adapted cattle diversity

We evaluated the relevance of the BovineHD Illumina SNP chip with respect to genes involved in epigenetic processes. Genotypes for 729,068 SNP on two tropical cattle breeds of Australia were used: Brahman (n = 2,112) and Tropical Composite (n = 2,550). We used data mining approaches to compile a lis...
