Aline Silva Mello Cesar,Luciana Correia de Almeida Regitano,Gerson Barreto Mourão,Rymer Ramiz Tullio,Dante Pazzanese Duarte Lanna,Renata Tieko Nassu,Mauricio A. Mudado,Priscila S. N. de Oliveira,M. L. Nascimento,Amália Saturnino Chaves,Maurício Mello de Alencar,Tad S. Sonstegard,Dorian J. Garrick,James M. Reecy,Luiz Lehmann Coutinho +14 more
TL;DR: The genomic regions and genes identified contribute to a better understanding of the genetic control of fatty acid deposition and can lead to DNA-based selection strategies to improve meat quality for human consumption.
Journal ArticleDOI

Higa,Luciana Correia de Almeida Regitano +20 more
TL;DR: Meat quality traits in Nelore are controlled by numerous QTL of small effect, except for a small number of large-effect QTL identified for a*fat, CL, and pH, which appear to differ from those identified in taurine cattle for meat quality traits.

Mudadu,Marcos Vinícius Gualberto Barbosa da Silva,S. C. M. Niciura,Roberto Augusto de Almeida Torres Júnior,Maurício Mello de Alencar,Luciana Correia de Almeida Regitano,Danísio Prado Munari +14 more
TL;DR: Genomic regions and genes that play roles in birth weight, weaning weight, and long-yearling weight adjusted for 420 days of age (LYW) in Canchim cattle are identified and new candidate regions for body weight traits were detected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linkage disequilibrium and haplotype block structure in a composite beef cattle breed

TL;DR: This study presented the first high density linkage disequilibrium map and haplotype block structure for a composite beef cattle population, and indicates that the high density SNP panel over 700 k can be used for genomic selection implementation and GWA studies for Canchim beef cattle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of GH and IGF-1 polymorphisms with growth traits in a synthetic beef cattle breed
A. P. Pereira,Maurício Mello de Alencar,Henrique Nunes de Oliveira,Luciana Correia de Almeida Regitano +3 more
TL;DR: The Canchim beef cattle has been selected for meat production in Brazil since late 1950 and in the present work the effects of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) polymorphisms were investigated in 688 animals born between 1998 and 2000.
