Predicting regulatory SNPs within enhancers and promoters in cattle

Causative SNPs are better predictors of phenotype than associated SNPs. However, very few causative SNPs contributing to complex phenotypes have been identified in production animals.

Description
Summary:Causative SNPs are better predictors of phenotype than associated SNPs. However, very few causative SNPs contributing to complex phenotypes have been identified in production animals. Here, an abstract of an article by Nguyen et al identifying and weighting the effects of such regulatory SNPs to improve genome-wide selection models for breeding in cattle is presented.
