Descrição: dc.descriptionSimple Summary In this study, we investigated the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and reproductive traits in order to identify candidate genes and biological pathways associated with these traits in Nelore beef cattle. The genome-wide association analysis revealed genomic regions that could explain part of the genetic variance of the studied traits. The results revealed genes with important functions for reproductive traits, such as fertility and precocity. Some genes were associated with more than one trait, being important for reproductive efficiency. The identification of candidate genes that were associated with the studied traits as well as genes enriched in the functional terms and pathways may be useful for exploring the genetic architecture underlying reproductive traits and may be used in Nelore breeding programs. The identification of genomic regions associated with reproductive traits as well as their biological processes allows a better understanding of the phenotypic variability of these traits. This information could be applied to animal breeding programs to accelerate genetic gain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) with a scrotal circumference at 365 days of age (SC365) and at 450 days of age (SC450), gestation length (GL) as a calf trait, age at first calving (AFC), accumulated productivity (ACP), heifer early calving until 30 months (HC30), and stayability (STAY) traits, in order to identify candidate genes and biological pathways associated with reproductive traits in Nelore cattle. The data set consisted of pedigree, phenotypes, and genotypes of Nelore cattle from the Associacao Nacional de Criadores e Pesquisadores (ANCP). The association analyses were performed using the Weighted Single-Step Genome-Wide Association method; the regions, consisting of 10 consecutive SNP, which explained more than 0.5% of additive genetic variance, were considered as a significant association. A total of 3, 6, 7, 5, 10, 25, and 12 windows were associated with SC355, SC450, GL, AFC, ACP, HC30, and STAY, respectively. The results revealed genes with important functions for reproductive traits, such as fertility and precocity. Some genes were associated with more than one trait, among them CAMK1D, TASP1, ACOXL, RAB11FIP5, and SFXN5. Moreover, the genes were enriched in functional terms, like negative regulation of fat cell differentiation, fatty acid alpha-oxidation, and sphingolipids signaling pathway. The identification of the genes associated with the traits, as well as genes enriched in the terms and pathway mentioned above, should contribute to future biological validation studies and may be used as candidate genes in Nelore breeding programs.-
