Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Coding/functional SNPs change the biological function of a gene and, therefore, could serve as "large-effect" genetic markers. In this study, we used two bioinformatics pipelines, GATK and SAMtools, for discovering coding/functional SNPs with allelic-imbalances associated with total body weight, muscle yield, muscle fat content, shear force, and whiteness. Phenotypic data were collected for...
