Significant SNPs per Chromosome for Cattle Methane Traits

74 significant SNPs identified through a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for enteric methane emissions in cattle. The dataset is an Excel file created by Sare Golpasand and last updated on April 10, 2026. It is derived from a meta-GWAS that integrated SNP-level data from published studies.

Use Cases

• Identify candidate genes for methane-related traits based on the 74 significant SNPs.
• Perform pathway enrichment analysis based on the KEGG and Gene Ontology terms mentioned in the study.
• Investigate network hub genes like TRPV3 and ANK3 for their role in host-microbiome interactions.
• Estimate heritability parameters for methane production and yield traits using the provided genomic data.

Strengths

• Contains 74 significant SNPs identified through a meta-analysis of multiple GWAS studies.
• Functional enrichment analysis results are described, highlighting specific pathways and genes like ALDH7A1 and CYP51A1.
• Heritability estimates for methane traits are provided (genomic h²=0.296, pedigree-based h²=0.299).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (5.5 KB), indicating limited scope.
