A genome-wide association study identified significant SNPs linked to milk yield in Guanzhong and Beetal goats.
Key findings revealed SNPs near LALBA on chromosome 19 (p = 1 × 10-¹⁰) and PRLR on chromosome X (p = 3.2 × 10-⁹).
This study utilized whole-genome sequencing data and a linear mixed model for the GWAS analysis.
Results underscore the potential of WGS-based GWAS for discovering genomic markers in dairy goat breeding.
