Genome wide association study identifies 20 novel promising genes associated with milk fatty acid traits in Chinese Holstein.
Detecting genes associated with milk fat composition could provide valuable insights into the complex genetic networks of genes underling variation in fatty acids synthesis and point towards opportunities for changing milk fat composition via selective breeding. In this study, we conducted a genome-...
