Fine mapping genetic variants affecting birth weight in sheep: a GWAS of 3007 individuals using low-coverage whole genome sequencing

Fine mapping genetic variants affecting birth weight in sheep: a GWAS of 3007 individuals using low-coverage whole genome sequencing

Abstract Background Birth weight is a critical economic trait in livestock production. However, its genetic architecture remains poorly understood due to historical limitations in sample size and reliance on low-density SNP arrays. In this study, we utilized low-coverage whole-genome sequencing (lcW...
