Open AccessWhole genome linkage disequilibrium maps in cattle
Bovine whole genome linkage disequilibrium maps were constructed for eight breeds of cattle. These data provide fundamental information concerning bovine genome organization which will allow the design of stud...

Open AccessAn assessment of population structure in eight breeds of cattle using a whole genome SNP panel
Analyses of population structure and breed diversity have provided insight into the origin and evolution of cattle. Previously, these studies have used a low density of microsatellite markers, however, with th...

Open AccessHigh density linkage disequilibrium maps of chromosome 14 in Holstein and Angus cattle
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) maps can provide a wealth of information on specific marker-phenotype relationships, especially in areas of the genome where positional candidate genes with similar functions are lo...

Open AccessA 2cM genome-wide scan of European Holstein cattle affected by classical BSE
Classical bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is an acquired prion disease that is invariably fatal in cattle and has been implicated as a significant human health risk. Polymorphisms that alter the prion p...

Open AccessGenome-wide analysis of zygotic linkage disequilibrium and its components in crossbred cattle
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) between genes at linked or independent loci can occur at gametic and zygotic levels known asgametic LD and zygotic LD, respectively. Gametic LD is well known for its roles in fine-s...

Open AccessEvidence for positive selection of taurine genes within a QTL region on chromosome X associated with testicular size in Australian Brahman cattle
Previous genome-wide association studies have identified significant regions of the X chromosome associated with reproductive traits in two Bos indicus-influenced breeds: Brahman cattle and Tropical Composites. T...

Open AccessGenome-wide association for milk production and female fertility traits in Canadian dairy Holstein cattle
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are a powerful tool for detecting genomic regions explaining variation in phenotype. The objectives of the present study were to identify or refine the positions of genom...
