Detection and evaluation of copy number variation using both linked-read and short-read sequencing in New Zealand dairy cattle

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.

ZIPcnv: accurate and efficient inference of copy number variations from shallow whole-genome sequencing

ZIPcnv improves CNV detection from shallow whole-genome sequencing by addressing zero-inflation and varying CNV sizes, outperforming existing tools.

Non-additive QTL mapping of lactation traits in 124,000 sequence-imputed cattle reveals novel recessive loci

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.
