Combined GWAS and ‘guilt by association’-based prioritization analysis identifies functional candidate genes for body size in sheep

BACKGROUND: Body size in sheep is an important indicator of productivity, growth and health as well as of environmental adaptation. It is a composite quantitative trait that has been studied with high-throughput genomic methods, i.e. genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in various mammalian specie...
