Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative trait loci affecting growth and carcass composition of cattle segregating alternate forms of myostatin.
TL;DR: Results are the initial effort to identify and characterize QTL affecting carcass and growth traits in families segregating myostatin, and suggest other loci influencing quantitative traits can be detected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coordinated international action to accelerate genome-to-phenome with FAANG, the Functional Annotation of Animal Genomes project

TL;DR: The organization of a nascent international effort, the Functional Annotation of Animal Genomes (FAANG) project, whose aim is to produce comprehensive maps of functional elements in the genomes of domesticated animal species is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in CAPN1 for association with meat tenderness in cattle.
B. T. Page,Eduardo Casas,Michael P. Heaton,Neil G. Cullen,D. L. Hyndman,C. A. Morris,A. M. Crawford,Tommy L. Wheeler,Mohammad Koohmaraie,John W. Keele,Timothy P. L. Smith +10 more
TL;DR: The association of maternal alleles with meat tenderness phenotypes is consistent with the hypothesis of CAPN1 as the gene underlying the QTL effect in two independent resource populations and presents the possibility of using these markers for selective breeding to reduce the numbers of animals with unfavorableMeat tenderness traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of quantitative trait loci for growth and carcass composition in cattle.
Eduardo Casas,S. D. Shackelford,John W. Keele,M. Koohmaraie,Timothy P. L. Smith,Roger T. Stone +5 more
TL;DR: Evidence suggesting the presence of QTL was detected for several traits in a family from a Bos indicus x Bos taurus sire was detected was detected, suggesting regions underlying QTL need to be assessed in other populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selection and use of SNP markers for animal identification and paternity analysis in U.S. beef cattle.

TL;DR: This report describes a set of 32 highly informative SNP markers distributed among 18 autosomes and both sex chromosomes in U.S. beef cattle populations, which allow the design of robust, accurate genotype assays on a variety of high-throughput SNP genotyping platforms.
