Genomic structural variation, in the form of large-scale insertions and deletions, as well as inversions and translocations, are referred to as copy number variations (CNVs). Compared to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), CNVs have potentially greater effects on gene structure, dosage and regulation, being an important source of phenotypic variation. In humans, CNVs are widespread in the genome and have been shown to be associated with complex traits. In livestock species, the characterization of this genetic variation is an important step toward linking genes or genomic regions with phenotypic traits of economic importance. Studies in cattle have revealed some CNVs associated with differences in host parasite resistance and breed-specific differences... |
