Despite their economic value, sheep remain relatively poorly studied animals in terms of the number of known loci and genes associated with commercially important traits. This gap in our knowledge can be filled in by performing new genome-wide association studies (GWAS) or by re-analyzing previously documented data using novel powerful statistical methods. This study is focused on the search for new loci associated with meat productivity and carcass traits in sheep.

- * The Sheep QTLdb currently holds data on 1658 QTLs linked to 225 traits, but there are limitations in using this data for marker-assisted selection due to missing critical information.
- * A new study identified 156 SNP-trait associations and 165 associated genes, providing updated resources for further research into sheep genetics, which can help in understanding and selecting for economically important traits.
