Capra hircus breed:Alpine Phenotype or Genotype. Capra hircus breed:Alpine

The data collected were used to conduct an exploratory genome-wide association study (GWAS) from 72 female Alpine goats originating from locations throughout the U.S. Genotypes were identified with the illumina Goat 50K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP Beadchip. The analysis used a polygenic model where the dropping criteria was the Call Rate >= 0.95. The initial dataset was composed of ~60,000 rows of SNPs, 21 columns of phenotypic traits and composed of 53, 384 scaffolds containing other informative data points used for genomic predictive power. Phenotypic association with the 50K Beadchip revealed 26,074 reads of candidate genes. These candidate genes segregated as seperate novel SNPs and were identified as statistically significant regions for genome and chromosome level trait associations.
