Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of 28 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in 10 candidate genes previously shown to be associated with quality traits in pigs and cattle.

Among the traits, 20 were carcass and sirloin quality related, one mechanical measure of tenderness, and the...
