Abstract excerpt
We attempted to estimate the additive genetic variance explained by each autosome, using genotype data of 33,657 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers in 2271 Japanese Black fattened steers. Traits were cold carcass weight, ribeye area, rib thickness, subcutaneous fat thickness, estimated yield percentage, and marbling score. Two mixed linear models were used: One is that (model 1) incorporating a genomic...
