Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to identify mRNA isoforms and small genetic variants that may be affecting marbling and beef color in Nellore cattle. Longissimus thoracis muscle samples from 20 bulls with different phenotypes (out of 80 bulls set) for marbling (moderate (n = 10) and low (n = 10) groups) and beef color (desirable (n = 10) and undesirable (n = 9) group) traits were used to perform transcriptomic analysis...
