TL;DR: A QTL detection experiment was performed in French dairy cattle to search for QTL related to male fertility, and the number of QTL detected was within the range of expected false positives.

TL;DR: Genome-wide association studies were performed to identify candidate mutations that affect the expression of six major milk proteins in Montbéliarde, Normande, and Holstein dairy cattle and identified functional links between some candidate genes and milk phenotypes, but the causality between candidate variants and milk protein composition remains to be demonstrated.

TL;DR: This study estimates the frequency of the 2 alternative alleles, K and A, of the K232A polymorphism in French Holstein, Normande, and Montbéliarde breeds and suggests the existence of at least one other causative polymorphism not yet described.

TL;DR: A pan-genome assessment of genomic variations in cattle may provide a new glimpse into the bovine genome architecture and help to study the effects of structural variants on gene expression and consequently their effect on certain phenotypes of interest.

TL;DR: Most of the identified mutations had significant effects in both sexes, with three of them each accounting for ∼10% of the genetic variance in males.
