Suitability of GWAS as a Tool to Discover SNPs Associated with Tick Resistance in Cattle: A Review

Understanding the biological mechanisms underlying tick resistance in cattle holds the potential to facilitate genetic improvement through selective breeding. Genome wide association studies (GWAS) are popular in research on unraveling genetic determinants underlying complex traits such as tick resi...
