Haplotype analysis improved evidence for candidate genes for intramuscular fat percentage from a genome wide association study of cattle.

In genome wide association studies (GWAS), haplotype analyses of SNP data are neglected in favour of single point analysis of associations. In a recent GWAS, we found that none of the known candidate genes for intramuscular fat (IMF) had been identified. In this study, data from the GWAS for these c...
