Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) are members of the superfamily of lipid-binding proteins
(LBP). So far 9 different FABPs, with tissue-specific distribution, have been identified: L …

Intramuscular fat (IMF) content plays a key role in various quality traits of meat. IMF content
varies between species, between breeds and between muscle types in the same breed …

Farm animal populations harbour rich collections of mutations with phenotypic effects that
have been purposefully enriched by breeding. Most of these mutations do not have …

This is the tenth update of the human obesity gene map, incorporating published results up
to the end of October 2003 and continuing the previous format. Evidence from single‐gene …

This paper presents the eleventh update of the human obesity gene map, which
incorporates published results up to the end of October 2004. Evidence from single‐gene …

Molecular genetic markers can be used to identify chromosomal regions that contain
quantitative trait loci (QTL) that control meat quality and muscle composition traits in farm …

This is the ninth update of the human obesity gene map, incorporating published results
through October 2002 and continuing the previous format. Evidence from single‐gene …

Improvement of livestock has focused on the selective breeding of individuals with superior
phenotypes. With the development of increasingly advanced statistical methods that …

A quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis of growth and fatness data from a three-generation
experimental cross between Meishan (MS) and Large White (LW) pig breeds is presented …
