This study evaluates how perturbations in haplotype reference panels affect genotype imputation accuracy, finding that phase and genotype errors have a greater impact than variant density.

The paper estimates variance components, characterizes phenotypes, and evaluates genetic factors associated with bovine congestive heart failure in commercial feeder cattle.

The paper develops a statistical method to detect genomic structural variation using genetic mapping data from Mimulus guttatus crosses, correcting reference genome errors and identifying chromosomal inversions.
