Guzerat is a dual-purpose breed recognized for important traits to its adaptation to adverse tropical environments such as resistance to parasites, heat tolerance and ability to intake forage with low nutritional value. Once genetic variation responsible for this traits has so far not been well characterized, the aim of this study was to identity single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and insertion/deletions (Indels) in Guzerat cattle breed from whole genome re-sequencing in order to characterize loss-of-function variants which could be associated with complex traits in this cattle breed.X-meeting 2016
