Determination of genetic associations between indels in 11 candidate genes and milk composition traits in Chinese Holstein population

Abstract Background We have previously identified 11 promising candidate genes for milk composition traits by resequencing the whole genomes of 8 Holstein bulls with extremely high and low estimated breeding values for milk protein and fat percentages (high and low groups), including FCGR2B, CENPE,...
