Detection of genomic regions underlying resistance to gastrointestinal parasites in Australian sheep

Abstract Background This study aimed at identifying genomic regions that underlie genetic variation of worm egg count, as an indicator trait for parasite resistance in a large population of Australian sheep, which was genotyped with the high-density 600 K Ovine single nucleotide polymorphism array....
