Weighting sequence variants based on their annotation increases the power of genome-wide association studies in dairy cattle
Abstract Background Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are widely used to identify regions of the genome that harbor genetic determinants of quantitative traits. However, the multiple-testing burden from scanning tens of millions of whole-genome sequence variants reduces the power to identify as...
