| 1 | Genome-Wide Association Study for Milk Fatty Acids in Holstein Cattle Accounting for the DGAT1 Gene Effect. | Fatty Acids | Weaning weight-maternal milk | Bos taurus |
| 2 | The identification of genomic regions and candidate genes associated with milk fatty acids contributes to better understand the underlying biology of these traits and enables breeders to modify milk fat composition through genetic selection. | Fatty Acids | Weaning weight-maternal milk | Bos taurus |
| 3 | The identification of genomic regions and candidate genes associated with milk fatty acids contributes to better understand the underlying biology of these traits and enables breeders to modify milk fat composition through genetic selection. | Fatty Acids | Weaning weight-maternal milk | Bos taurus |
| 4 | The main objectives of this study were: (1) to perform genome-wide association analyses for five groups of milk fatty acids in Holstein cattle using a high-density (777K) SNP panel; and (2) to compare the results of GWAS accounting (or not) for the DGAT1 gene effect as a covariate in the statistical model. | Fatty Acids | Weaning weight-maternal milk | Bos taurus |
| 5 | The five groups of milk fatty acids analyzed were: (1) saturated (SFA); (2) unsaturated (UFA); (3) short-chain (SCFA); (4) medium-chain (MCFA); and (5) long-chain (LCFA) fatty acids. | Fatty Acids | Weaning weight-maternal milk | Bos taurus |
| 6 | Thus, this study suggests that the DGAT1 gene accounts for most of the variability in milk fatty acid composition and the PLBD1 and MGST1 genes are important additional candidate genes in Holstein cattle. | Fatty Acids | Weaning weight-maternal milk | Bos taurus |
