Population structure and genome-wide association study of body conformation traits of two native goat breeds in China
This study investigated the population genetics of two prominent Chinese goat breeds and identified several SNPs that are significantly associated with body conformation traits. These findings offer biological insights into enhancing growth performance and hold significant potential for practical application in the genomic selection of meat goats.
