Finding causal variants for monogenic traits in dairy cattle breeding

Finding causal variants for monogenic traits in dairy cattle breedingMany of the most striking traits we recognise in cattle are caused by one or a small number of large effect mutations. These include breed defining characteristics such as coat colours and patterns, hair length, and horn status. Many deleterious effects in cattle can also be attributed to single genes, with phenotypic impacts ranging from mild (e. g. crop ears), to severe (embryonic lethality).
