Genome-wide copy number variant analysis reveals variants associated with 10 diverse production traits in Holstein cattle

Abstract Background Copy number variation (CNV) is an important type of genetic variation contributing to phenotypic differences among mammals and may serve as an alternative molecular marker to single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) for genome-wide association study (GWAS). Recently, GWAS analysis us...
