Identification and characterization of copy number variations in cattle

Copy number variations (CNVs) are an important source of genetic changes. They are defined as a gain or loss of genomic region ranging from 50 bp to several megabases. CNVs have been shown to be associated with many diseases and some phenotypic traits in several species, including cattle. Here, an a...

More Information
Summary:Copy number variations (CNVs) are an important source of genetic changes. They are defined as a gain or loss of genomic region ranging from 50 bp to several megabases. CNVs have been shown to be associated with many diseases and some phenotypic traits in several species, including cattle. Here, an abstract of an article by Letaief et al using Pindel, Delly, BreakDancer, and CNVnator to identify CNVs using whole-genome sequencing data of 200 animals from eight French dairy and beef cattle breeds is presented.
