Integrated GWAS, TWAS, and functional enrichment reveal candidate genes for claw and hoof traits in Jiangsu Jersey cattle

Claw and hoof health directly affects the athletic ability, service life, and production performance of dairy cows. Identifying relevant candidate genes may help elucidate the underlying biological mechanisms and provide targets for subsequent validation. Phenotypic and genomic d...

Genetic Parameters and Genome-Wide Association Analysis of Reproductive and Calving Traits in Jersey Cattle

This study characterized the genetic basis of reproductive and calving traits in Jersey cattle at different physiological stages and identified potential candidate genes. After quality control, 2716 records were available for heifer reproductive traits, 2707 for multiparous cow r...
