Source of genome-wide deleterious variation in a global cattle cohort

Junxin Gao, Martijn Derks, Job G. C. van Schipstal, Ying Liu, Etske Bijl, Catarina Ginja, Juha Kantanen, Nasser Ghanem, Donald Rugira Kugonza, Mahlako L Makgahlela, Martien A. M. Groenen, Henk Bovenhuis, Richard P. M. A. Crooijmans

The paper develops BovCADD, a cattle-specific deleteriousness score for substitutions, and shows it can distinguish pathogenic variants from background variation across the genome.
