Detection and evaluation of copy number variation using both linked-read and short-read sequencing in New Zealand dairy cattle.
Article in Frontiers in genetics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In recent years, genetic studies have made significant progress in identifying single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with cattle health and production traits. However, it is still challenging to identify and validate more complicated forms of variation, such as copy number variation (CNV) and other types of structural variation (SV). In this study, SV regions were identified using 37 New Zealand dairy cattle with linked-read sequence data. A transmission-based framework was used to validate these variants at the population scale. 62,438 putative autosomal SV regions were identified with the LongRanger pipeline following the 10x Genomics recommendations. Copy number states for these regions were subsequently estimated via a read-depth based genotyping method using CNVpytor in a population-representative cohort of 2306 animals using Illumina short-read sequencing technology. Mendelian inheritance of copy number states was assessed using linear mixed models incorporating pedigree information, and transmission levels were used to quantify the biological validity of each CNV region. Transmission levels ranged widely, with a mean of 0.5162 across all regions, where higher transmission levels were proportionally enriched for larger SVs. A total of 7218 CNV regions exhibited high transmission levels (>0.9), indicating strong evidence of inheritance. Among these, 7136 overlapped CNV regions reported in one or more public datasets, while 82 high-confidence regions represent previously unreported variants. High-transmission CNV regions tended to show clear, discrete inheritance patterns in trio families, providing the biological evidence that these CNVs are inherited within the population. Together, these results demonstrate that integrating linked-read sequencing with population-scale transmission-based validation provides a robust framework for identifying high-confidence CNV regions. This catalogue of validated CNV regions represents an important resource for downstream functional analyses and the incorporation of structural variation into genomic selection and breeding programs.
