Mastitis, the most frequent disease in dairy cattle. Resistance to mastitis is a complex,
polygenic trait controlled by several genes, each with small effects. Genome-wide …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in livestock are a powerful method for pursuing
deeper insights into the biological mechanisms that control complex traits, often with sights …

Background Single-step genomic best linear unbiased prediction (SSGBLUP) is a
comprehensive method for genomic prediction. Point estimates of marker effects from …

This study investigated the effect on the reliability of genomic prediction when a small
number of significant variants from single marker analysis based on whole genome …

Background Mastitis is a disease that incurs significant costs in the dairy industry. A
promising approach to mitigate its negative effects is to genetically improve the resistance of …

This study sheds light on the genetic complexity and interplay of production, body size, and
metabolic health in dairy cattle. Phenotypes for body size-related traits from conformation …

Background Mastitis caused by multiple factors remains one of the most common and costly
disease of the dairy industry. Multi-omics approaches enable the comprehensive …

Background Over the last years, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) based on
imputed whole-genome sequences (WGS) have been used to detect quantitative trait loci …

Background Improving resistance to mastitis, one of the costliest diseases in dairy
production, has become an important objective in dairy cattle breeding. However, mastitis …

Background Domestication, breed formation and intensive selection have resulted in
divergent cattle breeds that likely exhibit their own genomic signatures. In this study, we …
