Overlap between eQTL and QTL associated with production traits and fertility in dairy cattle

Abstract Background Identifying causative mutations or genes through which quantitative trait loci (QTL) act has proven very difficult. Using information such as gene expression may help to identify genes and mutations underlying QTL. Our objective was to identify regions associated both with produc...
