Genome-wide association studies and genetic architecture of carcass traits in Angus beef cattle using imputed whole-genome sequences data by Hasan Baneh, Nikolay Elatkin, Laurent Gentzbittel

“…Our findings also showed that higher density panels are more powerful in GWAS, such that the signals on BTA6 affecting CW, and two signals on BTA17 and BTA18 affecting MS were not detectable using medium SNP array genotypes. The allele substitution effects and additive genetic variances of the imputed variants followed a bell-shaped and a scaled inverse chi-squared distribution, respectively. …”
