The paper identifies and validates copy number variation in dairy cattle using linked-read and short-read sequencing, finding 7218 high-confidence CNV regions with strong inheritance evidence.

The paper introduces the RUMIGEN EpiChip, a DNA methylation array for cattle, demonstrating its utility in studying phenotypic variation and age prediction through methylation analysis.

The paper identifies novel recessive loci affecting lactation traits in cattle using non-additive QTL mapping on 124,000 sequence-imputed cows, revealing differences in genetic architecture between milk yield and composition traits.

This paper develops epigenetic clocks for New Zealand livestock using DNA methylation data to predict chronological age accurately across multiple species.

The paper identifies multiple QTL at the CSF2RB locus associated with milk yield and composition traits in dairy cattle and explores their genetic and molecular mechanisms.

The paper identifies cis-regulated RNA editing quantitative trait loci (edQTL) in cattle, linking them to gene expression and lactation traits.
