Polymorphisms in candidate genes and their association with carcass traits and meat quality in Nellore cattle

Polymorphisms in candidate genes and their association with carcass traits and meat quality in Nellore cattle

The objective of this work was to estimate the allele polymorphism frequencies of genes in Nellore cattle and associate them with meat quality and carcass traits. Six hundred males were genotyped for the following polymorphisms: DGAT1 (VNTR with 18 nucleotides at the promoter region); ANK1, a new po...
