Candidate genes and biological pathways associated with carcass quality traits in beef cattle
Download2013
Karisa, B. K., Bruce, H. L., Plastow, G. S., Moore, S. S., Thomson, J., Wang, Z.
The objective of this study was to use the candidate gene approach to identify the genes associated with carcass quality traits in beef cattle steers at the University of Alberta Ranch at Kinsella, Canada. This approach involved identifying positional candidate genes and prioritizing them...

Squires, J. J., Moore, S., Stothard, P., Swanson, K. C., Miller, S. P., Abo-Ismail, M. K., Vander Voort, G., Liao, X., Plastow, G., Mandell, I. B.
Background This study was conducted to: (1) identify new SNPs for residual feed intake (RFI) and performance traits within candidate genes identified in a genome wide association study (GWAS); (2) estimate the proportion of variation in RFI explained by the detected SNPs; (3) estimate the...
