Milk composition traits exhibit a complex genetic architecture with a small number of major
quantitative trait loci (QTL) explaining a large fraction of the genetic variation and numerous …

Fatty Acids (FAs) are a group of compounds with complex structure and different effects on
the human organism. There are over 400 FAs in cows milk, many of them as trace amounts …

Variations in the growth hormone receptor (GHR) gene sequence are associated with
performance traits in cattle. For example, the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) F279Y …

Background The identification of signals left by recent positive selection provides a feasible
approach for targeting genomic variants that underlie complex traits and fitness. A better …

The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of a single gene and composite
