Genome-wide association studies detects candidate genes for wool traits by re-sequencing in Chinese fine-wool sheep

Abstract Background The quality and yield of wool determine the economic value of the fine-wool sheep. Therefore, discovering markers or genes relevant to wool traits is the cornerstone for the breeding of fine-wool sheep. In this study, we used the Illumina HiSeq X Ten platform to re-sequence 460 s...
