Abstract excerpt
The Wagyu breed of taurine cattle possess favourable genetics for intramuscular fat (IMF) but genomic loci associated with the trait remain under characterised. Here, we report the identification of a previously unidentified genomic region possessing a particular haplotype structure in Wagyu. Through deployment of a genome-wide haplotype detection analysis that captures regions conserved in a target population...
