4. Investigation of genetic correlation among traits using massive SNP genotype in German Holstein population
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : The aims of this study were to demonstrate the genomic architecture of quantitative traits using Illumina BovineSNP50 Beadchip as well as the identification of chromosomes or SNPs affecting multiple traits in German Holstein population. For this research, a total of 2333 German Holstein bulls were genotyped for 54,001 SNPs. READ MORE
