Abstract

A haplotype block map of the bovine genome was constructed based on the analysis of 15,036 SNPs on 1,000 un-related bulls. This map identified a total of 727 haplotype blocks consisting of three or more SNPs. These blocks have a mean length of 69.7 kb and cover 2.2 % of the length of all autosomes. This analysis suggested that approximately 250,000 SNPs would be required to prepare a complete haplotype block map of the bovine genome with 75,000 tag SNPs.
