Network analysis uncovers putative genes affecting resistance to tick infestation in Braford cattle skin
Abstract Background Genetic resistance in cattle is considered a suitable way to control tick burden and its consequent losses for livestock production. Exploring tick-resistant (R) and tick-susceptible (S) hosts, we investigated the genetic mechanisms underlying the variation of Braford resistance...
