Genetic parameters and genome-wide association studies including the X chromosome for various reproduction and semen quality traits in Nellore cattle
Our findings indicate the key role of genes located on the X chromosome on the phenotypic variability of male and female reproduction and fertility traits in Nellore cattle. Breeding programs aiming to improve these traits should consider adding the information from X chromosome markers in their genomic analyses.
