Comprehensive GWAS identifies 381 significant association peaks in dairy cattle, suggesting novel candidate genes for complex traits.

The study identifies 381 significant association peaks, enhancing the understanding of complex traits in Holstein bulls.
Of the peaks identified, 126 are novel findings that contribute to optimizing breeding strategies for dairy cattle.
Using the SLEMM-GWA approach, the analysis yielded credible candidate genes relevant to specific traits in Holstein bulls.
Bayesian fine-mapping offers improved prioritization of candidate genes, supporting genomic selection in dairy breeding programs.

Wang et al. (2025) studied this question.
