Cattle Recombination Trait Analysis: Linear Model Results

Supplementary material from a comparative study on recombination activity in cattle. The XLSX file contains results of a linear model analysis for recombination traits, including autosomal crossover count and intra-chromosomal allelic shuffling. It was authored by Dörte Wittenburg and last updated on 2026-04-11.

Use Cases

• Identify genetic markers associated with recombination rate based on effect size and variance explained.
• Analyze the relationship between minor allele frequency and its effect on recombination traits.
• Compare the genetic basis of two recombination traits: crossover count and intra-chromosomal allelic shuffling.

Strengths

• File size is 19.9 KB, indicating a focused and manageable dataset.
• Data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.
• The description specifies the statistical model and key output variables (effect size, minor allele frequency, variance explained).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small (19.9 KB), indicating a limited scope of results.
