TL;DR: Very few of the significant markers for female reproduction traits for the Brahman and Tropical Composite breeds were located in the same chromosomal regions, however, fatness and BW traits as well as serum IGF1 concentration were found to be associated with similar genome regions within and between breeds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association weight matrix for the genetic dissection of puberty in beef cattle.
Marina R. S. Fortes,Antonio Reverter,Yuandan Zhang,E. Collis,Shivashankar H. Nagaraj,Nicholas N. Jonsson,K. C. Prayaga,Wes Barris,Rachel Hawken +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a system biology approach for the genetic dissection of complex traits based on applying gene network theory to the results from genome-wide associations was described, and an association weight matrix (AWM) was constructed with as many rows as genes and as many columns as traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-tissue omics analyses reveal molecular regulatory networks for puberty in composite beef cattle.
Angela Cánovas,Antonio Reverter,Kasey L. DeAtley,Ryan L. Ashley,Michelle L. Colgrave,Marina R. S. Fortes,Alma Islas-Trejo,Sigrid A. Lehnert,Laercio R. Porto-Neto,Gonzalo Rincon,G. A. Silver,Warren M. Snelling,Juan F. Medrano,Milton G Thomas +13 more
TL;DR: Pre- and post-puberty co-expression gene networks were constructed by combining the results from genome-wide association studies (GWAS), RNA-Seq, and bovine transcription factors to improve understanding of the number of genes and their complex interactions for puberty in cattle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for pleiotropism and recent selection in the PLAG1 region in Australian Beef cattle.

TL;DR: The C allele appears to mark a mutation that has been selected almost to fixation in the B. taurus breeds studied here and introduced into Brahman cattle during grading up and selected to a frequency of 0.52 despite its negative effects on fertility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Finding genes for economically important traits: Brahman cattle puberty
Marina R. S. Fortes,Marina R. S. Fortes,Sigrid A. Lehnert,S. Bolormaa,Coralie M. Reich,Geoffry Fordyce,N. J. Corbet,Vicki Whan,Rachel Hawken,Antonio Reverter +9 more
TL;DR: The results of a genome-wide association study using the BovineSNP50 chip suggest that the genes located in that region of BTA 14 play a role in pubertal development in Brahman cattle.
