“…In the veterinary field, GWAS is commonly used for the detection of genetic variations related to a trait. In this respect, GWAS is used for the detection of SNPs related to resistance to diseases such as Mycobacterium Avium subspecies paratuberculosis (Alpay et al, 2014;Canive et al, 2021;Fisher et al, 2011;Kirkpatrick et al, 2022;Minozzi et al, 2022), bovine leukemia virus (Brym et al, 2016;Carignano et al, 2018), bovine spongiform encephalopathy (Murdoch et al, 2010), and ovine foot-root disease (Raadsma et al, 2018). In addition, cattle idiopathic male subfertility (Pausch et al, 2014) and coat colour-related genetic variations (Mastrangelo et al, 2019) are evaluated by GWAS.…”
