QTL Experiment in Brief |
Animals: | The study utilized a granddaughter design: sires and sons were genotyped; granddaughters provided the phenotypes. All animals used in this study were registered Holstein bulls, most from United States and the remaining from Canada. |
Breeds associated:
n/a
|
Design: | Over 1.3 million calvings and a threshold model to calculate sires' predicted transmitting ability values were used for twinning rate using data from the National Association of Animal Breeders. |
Analysis: | Bovine microsatellite markers were selected based upon their locations on chromosomes 5,7,19, and 23, and estimated hterozygosity. Within half-sib family statistical analysis for all traits was performed. |
Software: | QTL Express, Cri-Map, Genescan, and Genotyper |
