Genetic marker effects and type of inheritance are estimated with poor precision when minor
marker allele frequencies are low. A stable composite population (MARC III) was subjected …

Brazil is one of the largest beef producers and exporters in the world with the Nelore breed
representing the vast majority of Brazilian cattle (Bos taurus indicus). Despite the great …

Background The mutations changing the expression level of a gene, or expression
quantitative trait loci (eQTL), can be identified by testing the association between genetic …

The objective of this study was to enhance estimates of additive, dominance, and epistatic
effects of marker polymorphisms on beef carcass and quality traits. Myostatin (MSTN) F94L …

Abstract Background Copy number variants (CNVs) contribute to genetic diversity and
phenotypic variation. We aimed to discover CNVs in taurine cattle using a large collection of …

Background Identification of the genomic signatures of recent selection may help uncover
causal polymorphisms controlling traits relevant to recent decades of selective breeding in …

The study was aimed to analyze the relation between individual genotypes and allelic
variants of SNPs g. 2141C> G of growth hormone gene, g. 914T> A and g. 257A> G of …

The period of heifer development is a relatively small fraction of a cow's life; however, her
pattern of growth may have permanent effects on her productivity as a cow. We …

A total of 96 barrows (48 pure-bred Bama mini-pigs representing fatty genotype, and 48
Landrace pigs representing lean genotype) were randomly assigned to either a low-or …
