Genome-wide association studies for growth traits in buffaloes using the single step genomic BLUP

Growth traits are important for the profitability of buffalo breeding systems, since in general, these animals are raised both for meat and milk. In this study, the single-step genomic BLUP method was employed to prospect the genomic regions’ associated with weight at standard ages of 100, 210, 365,...

Description
Summary:Growth traits are important for the profitability of buffalo breeding systems, since in general, these animals are raised both for meat and milk. In this study, the single-step genomic BLUP method was employed to prospect the genomic regions’ associated with weight at standard ages of 100, 210, 365, and 550 days in a buffalo population, aiming to identify genes with stronger expression for those characteristics. We found 6, 1, 2, and 5 SNPs significantly associated ( p value
