Sources of bias in genetic association studies of cattle: a review

Background: Genetic association studies have been increasingly used in cattle breeding programs. However, inconsistent results -such as positive, negative, or absence of association- across studies restrain reproducibility and proper implementation, propitiating the occurrence of bias. Objective: To...
