Integrative QTL mapping and selection signatures in Groningen White Headed cattle inferred from whole-genome sequences.

Integrative QTL mapping and selection signatures in Groningen White Headed cattle inferred from whole-genome sequences.

Here, we aimed to identify and characterize genomic regions that differ between Groningen White Headed (GWH) breed and other cattle, and in particular to identify candidate genes associated with coat color and/or eye-protective phenotypes. Firstly, whole genome sequences of 170 animals from eight br...
