Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent QTL and gene expression studies have highlighted ankyrins as positional and functional candidate genes for meat quality. Our objective was to characterise the promoter region of the bovine ankyrin 1 gene and to test polymorphisms for association with sensory and technological meat quality measures. RESULTS: Seven novel promoter SNPs were identified in a 1.11 kb region of the ankyrin 1 promoter...
