Genomic analysis of the slope of the reaction norm for body weight in Australian sheep

Abstract Background Selection of livestock based on their robustness or sensitivity to environmental variation could help improve the efficiency of production systems, particularly in the light of climate change. Genetic variation in robustness arises from genotype-by-environment (G × E) interaction...
