Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Marbling score (MS) is the major quantitative trait that affects carcass quality in beef cattle. In this study, we examined the association between genetic polymorphisms of the micromolar calcium-activated neutral protease gene (micro-calpain, CAPN1) and carcass traits in Korean cattle (also known as Hanwoo). RESULTS: By direct DNA sequencing in 24 unrelated Korean cattle, we identified 39 sequence...
