Genome-Wide Association Analysis Identifies the <i>PMEL</i> Gene Affecting Coat Color and Birth Weight in Simmental × Holstein

Coat color and birth weight, as easily selected traits in cattle, play important roles in cattle breeding. Therefore, we carried out a genome-wide association study on birth weight and coat color to identify loci or potential linkage regions in 233 Simmental × Holstein crossbred beef cattle. The res...
