Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) represent a powerful approach to detecting candidate genes for economically important traits in livestock. Our aim was to identify promising candidate muscle development genes that affect net meat weight (NMW) and validate these candidate genes in cattle. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using a next-generation sequencing (NGS) dataset, we applied ~ 12 million imputed...
