Prioritizing candidate genes for fertility in dairy cows using gene-based analysis, functional annotation and differential gene expression

Abstract Background An unfavorable genetic correlation between milk production and fertility makes simultaneous improvement of milk production and fertility difficult in cattle breeding. Rapid genetic improvement in milk production traits in dairy cattle has been accompanied by decline in cow fertil...
