Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genetic variation in both the composition and distribution of fat and muscle in the body is important to human health as well as the healthiness and value of meat from cattle and sheep. Here we use detailed phenotyping and a multi-trait approach to identify genes explaining variation in body composition traits. RESULTS: A multi-trait genome wide association analysis of 56 carcass composition traits...
