Detection of potential functional variants based on systems-biology: the case of feed efficiency in beef cattle

Abstract Background Potential functional variants (PFVs) can be defined as genetic variants responsible for a given phenotype. Ultimately, these are the best DNA markers for animal breeding and selection, especially for polygenic and complex phenotypes. Herein, we described the identification of PFV...
