Microsatellites Versus Genome-Wide SNPs Data for Pedigree Reconstruction in Twin Simmental Crossbred Cattle
Simple Summary This study compared two DNA-based methods for determining mother-calf relationships in a herd of crossbred cattle with a high rate of twinning. One method used 12 standard microsatellite markers, and the other used thousands of genome-wide SNP markers. The SNP method correctly identified 92.3% of known m...
