Genome scan for parent-of-origin QTL effects on bovine growth and carcass traits

Genome scan for parent-of-origin QTL effects on bovine growth and carcass traits

Parent-of-origin effects (POE) such as genomic imprinting influence growth and body composition in livestock, rodents and humans. Here, we report the results of a genome scan to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) with POE on growth and carcass traits in Angus x Brahman cattle crossbreds. We identi...
