Article Synopsis
- Phenotyping animals helps farmers collect useful data about livestock, which can improve our understanding of their genes and traits.
- Advances in technology, such as mobile phones and computers, make it easier and cheaper to gather this important data, even in places with fewer resources.
- Researchers are learning how to use these new tools to study animals better, but keeping up with all the fast changes can be hard for them.
Single nucleotide polymorphism arrays have created new possibilities for performing genome-wide studies to detect genomic regions harboring sequence variants that affect complex traits. However, the majority of validated SNPs for which allele frequencies have been estimated are limited primarily to European breeds. The objective of this study was to perform SNP discovery in three South African indigenous breeds (Afrikaner, Drakensberger, and Nguni) using whole genome sequencing.
