Mutant alleles differentially shape fitness and other complex traits in cattle
Xiang and colleagues infer mutant alleles in 113,000 cattle to quantify the effect of these mutations on complex traits including body size, fertility and milk production, and compare these mutation sites across 100 species of vertebrates. Some sites show long term selective pressure, are heavily co...

| Sumario: | Xiang and colleagues infer mutant alleles in 113,000 cattle to quantify the effect of these mutations on complex traits including body size, fertility and milk production, and compare these mutation sites across 100 species of vertebrates. Some sites show long term selective pressure, are heavily conserved and demonstrate hybrid vigour, whereas sites selected over shorter time periods are biased towards undesirable mutation. |
