Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for cattle stature identifies common genes that regulate body size in mammals.

Aniek C. Bouwman, +57 more
- 19 Feb 2018 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of data from cattle shows that the genetic architecture underlying stature is similar to that in humans, where many genomic regions individually explain only a small amount of phenotypic variance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Number of intramuscular adipocytes and fatty acid binding protein-4 content are significant indicators of intramuscular fat level in crossbred Large White × Duroc pigs

TL;DR: The current study suggests that FABP-4 protein content may be a valuable marker of lipid accretion in LM and that i.m. fat content and myofiber type composition can be manipulated independently.
Journal ArticleDOI

Within-breed and multi-breed GWAS on imputed whole-genome sequence variants reveal candidate mutations affecting milk protein composition in dairy cattle

TL;DR: Genome-wide association studies were performed to identify candidate mutations that affect the expression of six major milk proteins in Montbéliarde, Normande, and Holstein dairy cattle and identified functional links between some candidate genes and milk phenotypes, but the causality between candidate variants and milk protein composition remains to be demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stress hormones, carcass composition and meat quality in Large White×Duroc pigs.

TL;DR: The results show the importance of a control over stress neuroendocrine systems to increase pork production and product quality, and the value of the genetic approach to reach this goal.
