Genome-wide association studies and genomic prediction of breeding values for calving performance and body conformation traits in Holstein cattle

Abstract Background Our aim was to identify genomic regions via genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to improve the predictability of genetic merit in Holsteins for 10 calving and 28 body conformation traits. Animals were genotyped using the Illumina Bovine 50 K BeadChip and imputed to the Illumin...
