Genome-wide association study for methane emission traits in Danish Holstein cattle

Selecting for lower methane emitting cows requires insight into the most biologically relevant phenotypes for methane emission, which are close to the breeding goal. Several methane phenotypes have been suggested over the last decade. However, the (dis)similarity of their underlying genetic architecture and correlation structures are poorly understood. Therefore, the objective of this study was to test association of SNP and genomic regions...
