By identifying candidate genes and potential causal variants associated with beef production traits in cattle, MA demonstrates great potential for investigating the biological mechanisms underlying these traits. As a complement to within-population GWAS, this approach can provide deeper insights into the genetic architecture of complex traits in beef cattle.
