A deletion in the bovine FANCI gene compromises fertility by causing fetal death and brachyspina.

A deletion in the bovine FANCI gene compromises fertility by causing fetal death and brachyspina.

Fertility is one of the most important traits in dairy cattle, and has been steadily declining over the last decades. We herein use state-of-the-art genomic tools, including high-throughput SNP genotyping and next-generation sequencing, to identify a 3.3 Kb deletion in the FANCI gene causing the bra...
