Estimating the frequency of genomic polymorphisms associated with meat quality in Irish beef cattle
Quigley, Katie; O'Kane, Lyndsey; Kearney, Francis; Hall, Thomas J.; MacHugh, David E.; Mullen, Michael P. (Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)The calpain (CAPN) and calpastatin (CAST) genes play significant roles in meat tenderness (Casas et al., 2005). Identification and estimation of the frequency of DNA mutations involved in meat tenderness would not only ... -
No evidence of an association between lethal recessive osteopetrosis and performance in dairy cattle.
