Genome Scan for Parent-of-Origin QTL Effects on Bovine Growth and Carcass Traits.

abstract：:The increased feasibility of whole-genome (or whole-exome) sequencing has led to renewed interest in using family data to find disease mutations. For clinical phenotypes that lend themselves to study in large families, this approach can be particularly effective, because it may be possible to obtain strong evidence of...
