Assessment of genotyping array performance for genome-wide association studies and imputation in African cattle por Riggio, V., Tijjani, Abdulfatai, Callaby, R., Talenti, A., Wragg, D., Obishakin, E.T., Ezeasor, C.K., Jongejan, F., Ogo, N.I., Aboagye-Antwi, F., Touré, A., Nzalawahej, J., Diallo, B., Missohou, A., Belem, A.M.G., Djikeng, Appolinaire, Julef, Nick, Fourie, J., Labuschagne, Maryke T., Madder, M., Marshall, Karen, Prendergast, James G.D., Morrison, Liam J.

“…Finally, we show that imputation from low-density arrays can perform almost as well as HD arrays, if a two-stage imputation approach is adopted, i.e. first imputing to HD and then to WGS, which can potentially reduce the costs of GWAS.Our results show that the choice of an array should be based on a balance between the objective of the study and the breed/population considered, with the HD and BOS1 arrays being the best choice for both taurine and indicine breeds when performing GWAS, and the GGPF250 being preferable for fine-mapping studies. …”
