Gene expression and RNA splicing explain large proportions of the heritability for complex traits in cattle

Ruidong Xiang, Lingzhao Fang, Shuli Liu, Iona M. MacLeod, Zhiqian Liu, Edmond J. Breen, Yahui Gao, George E. Liu, Albert Tenesa, Brett Mason, Amanda Jane Chamberlain, Naomi R. Wray, Michael Edward Goddard

The paper quantifies how gene expression and splicing QTL explain heritability in cattle traits using Bayesian methods across 16 tissues.

Genome variants associated with RNA splicing variation in bovine are extensively shared between tissues

Ruidong Xiang, Ben J. Hayes, Christy J. Vander Jagt, Iona M. MacLeod, Majid Khansefid, P.J. Bowman, Zehu Yuan, Claire Prowse-Wilkins, Coralie M. Reich, Brett Mason, Josie B. Garner, Leah C. Marett, Yizhou Chen, Sunduimijid Bolormaa, Hans D. Daetwyler, , Michael Edward Goddard

The paper identifies bovine sQTLs associated with RNA splicing variation and shows they are shared across tissues and linked to complex traits.
