A single nucleotide polymorphism possibly associated with fat deposition is methylated in the bovine TFAM promoter

Mitochondrial transcription factor A (<em>TFAM</em>) is a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial protein that plays an important role in energy metabolism and is a candidate gene for fat deposition in cattle and human. In the present study, we characterized the methylation status of bovine <em...
