I'd be interested to know what you think and if you have questions. 

Very cool - and which one of the 30 authors are you Hereford Guy?

Thanks DL!  I am the first author.  We had a lot of collaborators who shared lots of samples with us.

Congrats - really nice work! (clapping)

Very nice work.  Interesting topic. 

nice paper!.

what is the biggest contributing factor to across breed correlation between a SNP and it's effect on a trait?

any antagonism?

and what about those 1200 CPG islands or are you allowing yourself another paper? ;D

do breeds sort based on homo or hetero percent, or some interesting segregation ratio?
