Implication

Genome-wide association study identified key candidate genes affecting milk-production in Saanen goats, suggesting valuable genetic markers for improvement.

Key Points

To identify candidate genes associated with milk-production traits in Saanen goats through GWAS.
Performed GWAS on sequencing data from 350 Saanen dairy goats
Identified 9,667,930 valid SNPs, focusing on mutations affecting gene expression
Selected 318 SNP loci and 244 candidate genes, highlighting four key genes.
Conducted experiments to prevent spurious association analyses.
Identified four candidate genes: CDC14A, F11, RBPJL, and ZFAND2A as influential for milk-production
Candidate genes regulate proliferation and secretion of mammary epithelial cells through MAPK and mTOR pathways
Findings provide valuable genetic markers for enhancing milk-production traits.
